Yes, but If you dont plan on printing white often It's not worth it.

White ink with jv3s is a bad scene. I would avoid it like the plague. I read one of your earlier posts. For your business model, thermal (like a Gerber Edge) might be a better route than inkjet. You also won't need to laminate.

Please my friend stay away from white inl

We tried it in the JV3, but unless you will use white several times / week, forget it, as then almost all of the white ink will end up in the waste, and at twice the price of CMYK, send the job to someone else.

Also; it will probably not cover black good enough, only use I see for it is on clear vinyl.

We went back to using our old Summa Durachrome for white print, it can sit for months unplugged without clogging any nozzles.

I would suggest a Summa DC3 if it is wide enough. You can get them under 10k used.
