Mimaki UJV100-160 vs UCJV300-160?

I have a cj150 now. With orange. Are the colors on that going to be better than the uv without orange? I have also considered the Roland with orange and green the solvent?

I have the UJV 100-160, and have been running it since last August. This year it's been down a total of 50 days due to the magenta blocking the print head. It happens every 2 months or so, it's a known issue by Mimaki. The engineer said that the Magenta is more "sandy" than the ink should be so it clogs the print head and effectively shut down our shop during that time.
The UV ink is good, but it's a little noisy for my liking.
I was hoping to move over to the SS21 inks, and perhaps get a Mimaki CJV150-107 Print and Cut as we primarily do stickers. But are the SS21 inks UV resistant or rated for up to 3 years in outside conditions?

Arial - it's almost helvetica

Yes SS21 inks are good

Good morning,
I also have a UJV100 since September 2021 and also noticed a problem with the magenta, it was very badly powdering all over the machine it turned out that there is already a new version 2 magenta needed to change the frimware to 6.0.1 after the change everything is laughing nicely.
Greetings
