quote Alan Drury:

Another question – how does this head compare with the Mimaki JV33 or the small Rolaland Studio. Reason I ask is that I have had jobs from suppliers who use either machines and the print quality is absolutely superb. I understand various machines share the same heads

It is the same printhead.

I just got the new RE model and it prints perfect, way better than the old technology that still uses DX4 printheads. Even at the fastest speed there is no banding. I just printed two retractable banners which had lot of solid colors and there was not even one dropout, banding or color shift. Very solid piece of machinery.

Note: The only downside of this printer is if you print at the fastest speed you gonna need an external dryer if you want to use the take up reel.

quote Dave Rowland:

one big head… the latest DX lol
The epson gs has two gold heads

If you are talking about the Epson GS6000 then that printer has only one 8 channel print head.

The Roland RS has 4-DX4 printheads same as Mimaki JV3

The new Roland RE has one 8 channel gold plated printhead and i believe is the same one as the GS6000 and also Mimaki JV33.

Now the new Roland that just came out which is the XR model has two 8 channel gold plated printheads.
