Mimaki CJV-150 advice

[Stikit Solutions]

Hi any thoughts on the Mimaki cjv-150 ? I was looking at the Rolan BN-20 but came across the Mimaki CJV-150. Any advice you can offer would be great very new to the printing industry and mainly specialise in mining but have decided to get a vinyl print & cut. I have the Mimaki 60-SRlll and it’s great. Imdompufcahse a second hand Mimaki jv3-130 and it never really ran properly. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated on buying a new printer . I’ve been told a few times to get a Roland but budget is limited and I really don’t want a huge printer so found this size seems more what I need. I did post early about the BN-20 Roland and this model.

Whenever I hear that a printer never ran properly out of the box I always assume the person who installed it didn't do any of the alignments and just started printing out of the box. On the CJV150, if you do the alignments properly, you should get very high quality prints. These printers are not like desktop printers where they just sort of work out of the box. You have to tweak it based on what type of vinyl you are using and maintain it for it to work properly over the long run.

I bought the printer second hand and it was meant to be installed and set up as part of the deal but that never happened so definitely wasn’t right from the word go
