MIMAKI JV3-130 SP2 – advice please

[Jamie Wood]

Yep. A JV3 will do this type of work all day long. Do a test print before you buy it, to
see if all the nozzles are clear, otherwise you could potentially have a large bill for new
heads.

I still have a JV3……….good solid reliable machine which prints well when correctly set up.

quote Jonathan Bennett:

Hi

Does anyone know much about this printer?

I am wanting a printer to print: contravision and vehicle wrap and I am on a very tight budget?

Any thoughts if this will do the job.

Thanks

:thumbsup:

How much would you like to know about a JV3? Probably one of my favourite machines and have been installing, training and repairing them since the first one arrived in the UK in 2003.

The SP would be a much better buy than an S, although you can pick an S up for a couple of £k now with a reasonable warranty included. Try and get a 160, if you get a smaller one, you’ll wish you got a bigger one. When an advert says, heads just need a good clean, it’s a lie!!! If the heads just need a good clean, you’d clean it before selling it. Also, look for a good RIP that supports Mimaki and has a selection of profiles. Shiraz, Onyx, Caldera and Wasatch are probably the most popular ones.
