JV33 - converting to water-based bulk dye-sub ink?

We are looking into replacing a JV3-250SP that has been having major yellow over-spray issues. Literally, nearly every part in the machine has been replaced. The sad part is that it worked like a champ for over a year, then started to slowly eat itself a month or two after its anniversary. As such, we are looking into replacing it.

It's not the fault of the water-based dye-sub inks we use, J-tec j-eco nano. They run flawlessly in a pair of JV4's with the same rip, PosterPrint 12.

We are looking at converting another, newer 8' Mimaki to water based dye-sub inks - most likely a JV33.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

If not a JV33, can someone suggest a different model/make of printer in a minimum 98" printable width that can handle media at leas 104" wide. We are seriously open ANY to suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the response Dice.

Marketing info on an official website is all well and good, but what's the reality? What's the real world "runability" of the stock dye-sub ink? Does anyone have experience comparing it to any others?
