The Mimaki JV100-160 is a roll-to-roll inkjet printer designed for sign and graphics professionals seeking a balance of high performance and affordability. The machine is available in two types, one using ink cartridges and one using bottles, and it is capable of printing on a maximum media width of 1620mm. It features a staggered two-head configuration with on-demand piezo heads, providing a high-quality print resolution up to 1200 dpi. The printer is designed for both high productivity and stable operation, with a maximum speed of 100 m²/h and production speeds of 30 m²/hr in specific modes.
The Mimaki JV100-160 utilises a variety of eco-solvent inks, including Mimaki’s AS5, SS21, and BS4, which are known for their fast-drying properties, weather resistance, and rub-fastness. Ink configurations can range from 4 to 8 colours, with an option for Orange and Light Black inks to extend the colour gamut and achieve richer tones. Key features for reliable operation include the Dot Adjustment System (DAS) for automatic bi-directional and media feed adjustments, and the Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4 (MAPS4) to reduce banding. The printer also includes a Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) and Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) to ensure uninterrupted printing. The JV100-160 comes with RasterLink7 RIP software as standard, which features a new RIP core for faster processing of complex PDF files.
