Hi,

Does anyone run the new mimaki CJV200. I'm interested in this machine and would like to know many thinks :)
- print quality : is there any grainyness in the print even in dual CMYK ?
- are the light gradient very smooth in dual CMYK ?
- does the vinyl curl 24h after print and cut with the new SS22 ink ?
- what is the scratch resistance of SS22 compare to SS21 ?
- do you know the price of the printhead ( head crash can occur...) ?
- is it able to cut accurately a 2.5 or 3 meters sheet long (7.6 inch) in print/cut mode ?
- what do you think of this printer ?
....

From a tech point of view, it's a nice upgrade to the CJV150. Very easy to work on. The new head prints better than the old DX7 head but a little bit slow comparatively. It's not meant to be a high production machine though. It's perfect for a one or two man shop for sure. The head cost is my biggest negative on it. $5200 here in the states; about 43% the cost of the machine. That's way overpriced and they've altered the electronics so that you can't just put any Epson I3200 head in it. So until someone figures out how to crack the head electronics, they are going to be expensive.
