The JV100-160 supports a wide range of media types, including vinyl, banner material, canvas and photo paper, with a maximum thickness of 1 mm.

The Dot Adjustment System (DAS) automatically adjusts dot position and quantity, ensuring consistent print quality without manual intervention.

Although third-party inks may be compatible, it is recommended to use the original Mimaki inks (AS5, SS21, BS4, CS250) for optimal performance and to maintain warranty coverage.

The printer can achieve speeds of up to 62.9 sq m/h, depending on the print mode and resolution settings.

Both AS5 and SS21 are eco-solvent inks compatible with the JV100-160, but they meet different needs.

• AS5 ink: This is a newer, cost-effective ink with vibrant colors and fast drying times. Available in 4-color (CMYK) and 8-color (CMYK + Lc, Lm, Lk, Or) configurations, it offers a wide color gamut suitable for different applications.
• SS21 ink: Known for its durability and weather resistance, SS21 is ideal for outdoor advertising and vehicle wraps. The ink is also available in sets of both 4 and 8 colors, ensuring high-quality prints with excellent durability.

The NRS automatically detects and compensates for clogged nozzles by replacing them with functioning ones. This ensures uninterrupted printing, reduces downtime and ensures consistent print quality, which is critical for meeting tight deadlines and large orders.

Although the JV100-160 comes with Mimaki's RasterLink7 RIP software, it is also compatible with other RIP solutions such as Onyx. However, users have reported color accuracy problems when using third-party RIPs due to the limited availability of ICC profiles. It is recommended to use RasterLink7 for optimal performance and color accuracy.

Regular maintenance ensures the life and performance of the JV100-160. The most important routines are

• Daily: Inspect and clean the print heads and wiper blades.
• Weekly: Inspect and clean the cover station and surrounding areas.
• Monthly: Perform a thorough system check, including firmware updates and nozzle inspections.

Refer to the operator's manual for detailed maintenance procedures and schedules.

Yes, the JV100-160 is designed to handle media rolls weighing up to 45 kg and up to 250 mm in diameter. This capability allows you to run longer print runs without frequent media changes, increasing productivity for large-scale print jobs.

The Mimaki JV100-160 is equipped with several media processing features designed to streamline production and ensure consistent print quality.

• Media Compatibility: Supports a wide range of media types up to 1,620 mm (63.8") in width and 1 mm in thickness, suitable for a variety of applications, from signage to art reproductions.
• Roll processing: Can handle media rolls with a maximum weight of 45 kg and a diameter of up to 250 mm, allowing long print runs without frequent media changes.
• Core diameter compatibility: Designed to work with both 2-inch and 3-inch core diameters, for flexibility in media selection.
• Take-up unit: Includes an optionaltake-up unit that ensures smooth media take-up and maintains tension and alignment for consistent output.
• Media sensors: Equipped with sensors that detect media width and presence, making media loading more accurate and reducing the risk of misprints.

Together, these features improve the efficiency of the JV100-160, making it a reliable choice for high-volume printing environments.
