This close cooperation allows us to demonstrate the sheer breadth of what Mimaki can deliver.

We need to effectively translate the key values of Caterham F1 Team into a visual representation that is all about speed, outstanding performance, flexibility and quality. To achieve that success, we selected a reliable partner we can count on for quality and consistency. We’re convinced this partnership with Mimaki will deliver the right solutions for the job.”
