Mimaki launch new JV330-130/-160 and CJV330-130/-160 large-format inkjet printers

JV330-130/-160 and CJV330-130/-160 have been added to the line-up of the entry model "100 Series" and the standard model "300 Series" as middle and high-end models.

The new models include mounted value-added features that assist customers in saving work and labour.

Snapshot:

・Realizing high graphics with high image quality and definition

・Adaptable to work requiring quick delivery by a high printing speed

・"XY slitter" capable of reducing post-production work by X-axis & Y-axis sheet-fed cut

・"Media Changer", to which up to three media pieces are attachable, makes media replacement easier.

・"Mimaki Remote Access (MRA)" enables wireless printer operations from an iPhone

The 330 Series include the new "Mimaki Weaving Dot Technology (MWDT)", a printing technology that changes the order of ink droplet placement depending on the printing conditions.

MWDT suppresses unexpected streaks or uneven printing caused by slight individual differences in the print head or subtle deviations in adjustment.

Also released is a new input profile, "Deep Color Natural", a standard format for colour management.

It makes full use of the wide colour gamut of "SS21", the Mimaki eco-solvent ink. “Deep Color Natural” reproduces fully vivid solid colour expression, natural grey tone, and natural skin tone.

Printing speed is 21.0 m2/h in standard mode with 4-colour (C, M, Y, K), and 13.2m2/h with eight colours (C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm, Lk, Or), of high productivity.

As the flagship model in the series, it promotes work efficiency with high image quality and increased productivity.

The "XY slitter" and the "Media changer" are two high value-added functions that assist in saving work and labour. The XY slitter has an in-line function that cuts all sides of the media after printing, enabling automatic slit processing without the need to remove the media. This significantly shortens post-production work and can reduce the space required for cutting.

The Media Changer can accommodate up to three rolls of media changes simply by turning the handle lightly.

The new models are compatible with "Mimaki Remote Access (MRA)", allowing remote operation of the machine from your iPhone or PC; Android will be supported in the future.   

Two additional new features are an ink supply unit that enables agitation of large capacity 2-litre ink packs without requiring removal of the packs from the unit, and the drive motor, now mounted on both the left and right sides of the media winder for more stable winding.

 These new designs ensure longer uninterrupted production times.

Furthermore, Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4 (MAPS4)*1, Nozzle Check Unit (NCU)*2, Nozzle Recovery System (NRS)*3, and Dot Adjustment System (DAS)*4 have inherited our printing functions for supporting a stable operation. Focusing on large indoor and outdoor signage and graphic market, the new models are equipped with "JV330 Series" only for printing function and "CJV330 Series" having print & cut functions, each with a lineup of -130 (maximum media width of 1,361 mm) and -160 (maximum media width of 1,610 mm) to be released in April 2022.

*1:MAPS4: A function that reduces banding (horizontal stripes), colour irregularities, and glossy stripes by printing path boundaries in a gradation style.

*2:NCU: A function that automatically detects the status of nozzles with a sensor and automatically cleans nozzles when a nozzle is found to be missing.

*3:NRS: When there is a nozzle problem that cannot be solved by nozzle cleaning, the defective nozzle is automatically replaced by another nozzle

to continue printing with stable image quality.

*4:DAS: A function that automates dot position correction and feed amount correction, which were previously performed manually.
