Mimaki JV33-160 Solvent Printer (63-inch)

The JV33-160, which succeeds the JV3-160 (a product that has received great reviews since its launch in 2002), creates high quality prints at 540dpi x 1,080dpi with a print speed of 128sq.ft./h (11.9m2/h), while maintaining an affordable price.


The JV33-160 has the same print head as the JV5 series which has 8 lines of 180 nozzles (total 1,440 nozzles). These print heads can increase print speeds by 30% over the JV3 series. Printing signage for up-close viewing can be created at 540 x 1,080dpi with a print speed of 128sq.ft./h (11.9m2/h ). Having only one head helps prevent against alignment errors when setting the heads. A symmetric ink arrangement (MCYKKYCM) and newly developed 16 bit rendering function of the standard RIP, allows for enhanced print quality. In addition to pre-print heaters, a post heater has been added to increase drying time of ink on media, allowing for faster uptake of the printed media. The JV33 series is also equipped with an UISS (uninterrupted ink supply system) for use during the 4-print mode. This feature allows the printer to produce large prints (long runs) without worrying about running out of ink. There are 4 types ink available for the JV33 series: SS21 ink (including white ink), ES3 ink (solvent ink), aqueous pigment ink, and dye sublimation ink.
