Tomorrow when I get to the shop I'll post the color I print with Signlab 9.0, granted it's not pantone orange but it works for almost anything I've had to do. and if it doesn't work I cut vinyl and apply it over the print.

Yeah I agree with Island, if the Mimaki is printing SS2 inks they will last longer, I have banners that have been outside for 3 years with no fading. As for him having scratching issues that sounds like he is printing Eco Solvent inks, which are basically the same inks as the Mutoh, Roland...

I ended up ordering a JV33 with SS21 inks, the decission all came down to ink durability. I'd rather miss a patone color by a little and be able to explain to the customer that " this is as close as I can match but it's gonna last 5 years+" rather then having them be happy with the inital job...

thanks I'll make sure the tension is set correctly. What about the USB cable? and why would they not make this machine Ethernet connectable? I think this is the only solvent printer that isn't. Are all cables created equal or do I need a special cable. Thanks

I think the best maintenace upgrade on the JV3 is the amount of room you have to clean the head, I'm 6'7" 295 so my hands are really big and end up being all contorted trying to get in and clean the head. Does anyone have any experience with the Captivair system? Does the take up reel on...

Did you get your Signlab figured out? Later Gary

I went today and looked at the JV33 I'm very impressed, fast, great output and WOW the maintenance you guys are right super easy. It's nice that Mimaki listened to the end users and made improvements on the JV3 but left the good parts alone I purchased the printer and bundled in the...

Thanks guys I can basically get a mimaki and Epson for the same money so I think I'm going to stay with the Mimaki because I know the machine is really well built and I have been using the JV3 for 3 years and no problems at all. I know when I got the JV3 it was the main wrapping machine on the...

I currently have a Jv3 SPII 130 with SS2 ink running dual CMYK and I'm thinking of getting a new printer and one of my choices is the JV33 130/160 with SS2-1 ink what are the advantages of going to the JV33, I would like better color gamut so I may go to CMYK Lm Lc but I'm not real interested...

I'm looking at a new printer right now to replace my JV3 using SS2 inks. I'm between the Epson GS6000 "eco" or the Mimaki JV33 " solvent" . I like the color gamut of the Epson but I'm concerned the prints won't last as long as the Solvent inks from my JV3 that I'm used to, but I'd also like to...

I'm in a similar situation I am using a JV3 with OEM SS2 Inks and I really like the GS6000 but I'm worried about the ink durability. how are everyones prints standing up to the outdoors? I don't want them to start failing 2 years after I install a sign. I know my JV 3 prints are at over 3...

I'm leaning hard toward the Epson GS6000 but I'm a little concerned with some things I've read on the Epson forum here. The Latex scares me a little with the high temp heaters and matte finish Of course I'll be printing with Signlab so I know I'll get awesome support. Later

I have my JV3 SPII 130 for sale $5500 we are looking at getting a printer that doesn't require ventilation. The printer is in very good condition and is printing very well. It is set up with dual CMYK SS2 Inks I'm located in Western Pa and do not have the shipping crate so shipping...

I'm looking at a new printer so I really can't tell you which is the best since I have only had a JV3 which prints great but I'm looking for something that doesn't require the use of ventalation. I am looking at the Epson GS6000 which is one of the printers on my short list along with the HP...
