Don't always believe what you hear on the speed of a printer, that 16 meters an hour is probably at it's lowest resolution.

yeah I just looked into this last night. I live 10 minutes from my shop. I can see this being a great benefit.

Yes, i know about the speed and quality.
But i print in 540x720 always, because i use Aqua-based sublimation ink, so i dont need quality as graphics, banners, etc.
Anyway, even printing in 1080, mutoh new gen, will beat mimaki's jv33.
Anyway mi jv33, is a work-horse and i love it, but i have to try other printer, before beeing a mimaki fan or something like that.
Edit:
Also, Mutoh is changing the ink system. For people who know about it, it sucks, you must buy mutoh ink or get a code to unlock the chip per year.
This will no longer exist. once you buy the Mutoh valuejet, they'll give you the code to unlock the ink cartridges forever. But still have to use chips as mimaki does.
Sorry for the english.

There's always a better mousetrap!
Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh saw the handwriting on the wall the day Epson began shipping 60" wide mild solvent ink printers. Epson agreed to continue shipping old print head technology to Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh; but, saved their new print head technology for themselves...duh-oh.
Mimaki responded very quickly with new printers using new Ricoh print head technology. They launched the JV400 series Latex ink printers. I would be surprised if they had much success with that product as the HP Latex printer is significantly less expensive and is a proven product.
For whatever reason, Mimaki has chosen to show their JV400 printer equipped ink curing device printing what they describe as a UV-Solvent ink. The output was in my opinion much nicer than their latex prints (and I believe it print faster). When asked about price and delivery, Mimaki simply said it was not a released product and still under test. Perhaps this is their next release?
Roland and Mutoh are still somewhat behind the eight ball. I can't imagine either will continue OEM'ing old Epson technology.

If you want to change you Jv33, you can buy JV34.
It is a work-horse too.
If you want more speed go to TS5-160.
If you want more and more you can goto TS500.
But to be honest, JV33 is the best.
Buy a second, or a third machine...and put 3,4,5 JV33 printing at same time...
