New Mimaki JV3-130SPII

Mimaki has released its JV3-130SPII, a 54-in. solvent printer that has several interesting options. Users can change the settings from the front panel and choose between a 4- color, 6-color (CMYKcm) or 7-color (CMYKcm+W) print modes, as well as choices of inks”?Mimaki's standard inks, SS-2 (includes white), ES-3 eco-solvent, or HS-1 rugged solvent inks (see June 2005, p. 27, and November 2005, p. 19, for ink details). Customers are not locked into one inkset at time of purchase; instead, they can switch between inksets by using wash cartridges. Inks are available in 220-ml cartridges.

Designed for the sign, banner, and screen-printing markets, the 4-head JV3-130SPII offers speeds up to 478 sq ft/hr at 360 x 360 dpi (with 4-color option: 360 nozzles/color; with 7-color option: 180 nozzles/color) and six print modes up to 1440 x 1440 dpi.
