Selling our Mimaki UJV100-160 printer setup as dual CMYK - so it prints very fast. This printer was purchased in October of 2021. Just had both heads replaced and was fully gone through by Mimaki last fall under warranty. Currently Head 1 is showing some deflection/missing nozzles in the...

Now that I've had time to do a little more research, I'm beginning to wonder if the increased price of the UCJV330-160 is worth approximately $10k more than the older UCJV300-160? The 330 stated max print speeds for dual CMYK are around 301 sf/hr. The 300 states max print speed of 277.7 sf/hr...

We already have a JV300-160 running dual CMYK solver that runs mostly wraps, window clings and small detail oriented work. The reason we need a UV is that our current UJV100-160 handles all our banner and poster work, plus down and dirty stuff that doesn’t need lamination. We also run a ton of...

Looking to upgrade from our UJV100-160 which is setup as dual CMYK. We have no need for white/clear/etc and want the speed. We run ONYX as our primary RIP and looking for feedback opinions on this machine. Thank you!

Our UJV100-160 had same issue and heads were replaced by Mimaki last October/Novmber. Running good now, hopefully stays that way.

Hi guys, wanted to share some info on this subject in case someone may have the same issue. Our motor just stopped in the middle of a job Wednesday afternoon and I took it to a local electric motor shop who took it apart and found the brushes were the culprit. This motor shop really didn't work...

Moved to correct forum.

Thanks for the heads up Mark. Yes, if I can find time to get away it would be nice to see one run in person, perhaps I can bring some test files along to see if the workflow would indeed improve and make our life a little simpler? Look forward to your reply.

To answer your question, it's probably mostly due to quantity. We do about 100-150 banners (4x4 and 4x6 size) per month on average for some of our retail accounts. Prior to doing these on UV, we were doing these on solvent, and would print all the fronts to a roll, then cut them down and them...

Can anyone attest to the ability to print 2-sided banner or poster on the Colorado? We have several clients that do a lot of double sided banners for indoor POP stuff, it's a very smooth 13oz blockout. Our workflow now is to print the front side on our Mimaki UV, and then cut down and back up...

Just got our new Mimaki JV-300-160 delivered and now looking for existing profiles that will work with ONYX. *NOTE - we are running our machine dual CMYK - SS21 inks. **Found some on 3M's website, but not sure if their "8-color" is dual CMYK, or something different? Couldn't find anything...

It does to some degree, I honestly don't know how many times/passes it also automatically cleans as it prints - something I wasn't used to with our 1624 Mutoh machines. Again, have been very happy with the machine and it seems very efficient and miserly on ink usage from what I have experienced.

Have had one since last October/November. Machine itself is great, very efficient ink usage, fast, low-maintenance, print quality is very good. We primarily use ours for banners/posters/down and dirty vinyl jobs that don't require lamination. We have done some experimenting with wrap films on...

We've pretty much been a dedicated Mutoh shop since we opened, and now that our pair of 1624x printers are approaching the 3-year mark, it's time to upgrade. Not going back to Mutoh because AFAIK 3rd party ink isn't available yet, and Mutoh has increased the price drastically on these new...
