New 2.6m JV34 printer from Mimaki
Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services has added the 2.6m wide JV34-260 to its printer arsenal. The machine, which incorporates two newly developed printheads in a staggered arrangement for a print speed of around 30 m2/h (at 540 x 720 dpi), will be available from April
The JV34-260 has an automatic media feeder (AMF) to provide continuous web tension over the whole width of the substrate. As standard, the AMF supports a maximum roll weight of 100kg.
The new printer features Mimaki’s UISS (Uninterrupted Ink Supply System) which delivers continuous ink supply for long print jobs. As soon as one ink cartridge is empty, the system automatically detects this and will start supplying ink from another cartridge of the same colour. In combination with the optional MBIS (Mimaki Bulk Ink System), comprising of ink contained within two litre sacks; significant cost savings and environmental benefits can be achieved.
Three variable dot sizes mean smooth gradations even when printing in four-colour-mode. A three stage intelligent heater before, during and after printing ensures fast drying times, as the pre-heater warms the substrate before printing while the automatic drying fan dries the ink even at high speeds so that the media can be taken up directly after printing. A printhead height of 2 - 3mm can be adjusted easily according to substrate and for prints with sublimation inks, printhead height can be adjusted according to the thickness of transfer paper between 3 - 4mm.
