54-inch Mimaki JV33-120 and 63-inch Mimaki JV33-160 solvent ink printers for outdoor signage

When I asked why the54-inch Mimaki JV33-120 and 63 Mimaki JV33-160 solvent ink printers were printing so slowly I was told that it was necessary to slow them down so that the ink would dry!

I have also heard about ink drying problems on the Mimaki JV5.

I do not hear these problems on the

The HP 9000S and HP 10000S need an auxiliary dryer to facilitate drying (now you know who so many printshop owners are switching to UV-curable inkjet printers, such as the ColorSpan 5440uv series).

Eventually the Mimaki JV33-120 and Mimaki JV33-160 will resolve the drying issues. At this point we would be interested in inspecting them in more detail at the demo center as well as in inspections to end-users who have them successfully printing without issue. But for the moment, the solvent ink drying issue is not yet resolved to our satisfaction.

54-inch Mimaki JV33-120 and 63-inch Mimaki JV33-160 can also be used for dye sublimation and eco-solvent ink printers

Mimaki offers many ink choices.

  • SS21 ink,
  • ES3 (third generation eco-solvent ink),
  • water-based pigmented ink (as with the older JV22 and JV4)
  • Dye-sublimation ink (as with the older JV22 and JV4)

Being able to select from all these kinds of inks is very clever. However most people who want to use water-based inks would also be looking at the HP Z6100 or Canon iPF9000.

An option to Mimaki's low-solvent iks is the new HP latex polymer ink system, announced in March 2008. Dr Hellmuth has been selected to be trained in this latex ink chemistry and applications, and will report back later this spring and summer.
