Mimaki USA Introduces CJV300 Series Production Print and Precision Cut Device

Mimaki USA, a manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutters, has announced the Mimaki CJV300 Series of production-speed, printer-cutter devices. Models from the CJV300 series will make their U.S. debut in the Mimaki USA booth #3158 at the 2014 SGIA Expo in Las Vegas, October 22-24, 2014. Extending the capabilities of the Mimaki JV300 Series platform, introduced in July 2014, the CJV300 Series is available in two sizes: the 54-inch CJV300-130 model and the 64-inch CJV300-160 model. CJV300 Series models incorporate new printheads in a staggered configuration (offering up to four channels per color) that can deliver production print speeds of up to 1140 square feet per hour to support a high-volume print-and-cut workflow. The integrated cut functionality enables volume production of labels, decals, T-shirt transfers, window clings, floor graphics, POP displays, vehicle markings, package prototypes and more in a single unit. The Mimaki CJV300 series offers advanced cutting functions including continuous registration mark detection to enable cutting of an entire roll of media without interruption. Over-cut and corner-cut functions reduce waste by ensuring clearly cut edges with no uncut fragments. The segment correction function facilitates precision cutting over long-length prints, even if the image is distorted. Also included is a cut-and-print function for pre-cutting before printing, which prevents common problems such as film separation and other issues related to post-cutting on thin materials. Among the ten SS21 eco-solvent ink colors available for the CJV300 printer is Silver, which can be used to create high value-added print products. This new formulation delivers a greater than 50 percent improvement on refraction over the current Silver ink formula, delivering brilliant mirror-effect results that are not diminished even if overlaminated. Silver ink can be used to create metallic color effects, which are in high demand for label, decal and package prototyping applications. RasterLink6 RIP software – standard with CJV300 Series units – includes a swatch palette of 648 metallic colors that are easily selectable from Illustrator and can be utilized in a near endless combination of custom colors.
