Mimaki Europe, a leading provider of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, has introduced a new easy-to-use roll-to-roll printer, developed for efficient production of high-quality signage – the JV200-160. Using eco-solvent inks and packed with features that ensure the printer delivers reliable, productive operation and outstanding print quality, the JV200-160 further extends Mimaki’s already extensive product portfolio for the sign graphics market.
The new JV200-160 offers many productivity-enhancing functions and is designed for ease-of-use and maintenance, while printing exceptional quality signage at a practical production speed of 17.0 m2/h – among the highest in its class for entry-level printers.
Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe, comments, “Our CJV200 Series of integrated printer/cutters, introduced last October, has been extremely well received by the market. The JV200-160 joins this product series to deliver the same exemplary image quality and top-level productivity for the entry class – now in a print-only model that’s easy to operate and maintain.
“This new introduction provides customers with even more opportunities to easily expand their business with new print capabilities. For example, companies that already own cutting machines for post-print processing but are looking to add high-quality print while maintaining their current workflow can now benefit from this new technology. When paired with a Mimaki cutting plotter, the JV200-160 can also benefit from our unique ID Cut function, which automates print-and-cut processes with minimal operator intervention, reducing the risk of human error.”
With operators’ work environments as well as its’ wider environmental responsibility a priority, Mimaki’s recently launched SS22 eco-solvent ink is available with the JV200-160. SS22 ink reduces odour by approximately 40%*1 and does not contain GBL*2, the use of which has been increasingly regulated around the world, while still providing industry-leading outdoor weather resistance. The JV200-160 also supports Mimaki’s well-established SS21 and BS4 ink sets, giving customers greater flexibility to choose the solution that best suits their production needs.
Other highlight features of the new JV200-160 include the Ink Saving function, which reduces ink costs with just two simple clicks while maintaining natural colours, and the automatic media adjustment function (DAS; Dot Adjustment System) enables easy and accurate pre-print adjustment. Incorporating Mimaki’s Printer Information Cloud Technology (PICT) also optimises ink efficiency and maintenance, as well as providing the option for remote monitoring, grouped management, and improved data precision.
The JV200-160 printer will be one of many new innovations demonstrated live for the first time in EMEA on Mimaki’s stand at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 (Hall 1.2 / Stand B20). This printer is sure to be a key highlight of the show, as Mimaki continues to deliver on its promise of excitement, new technology and celebrations in the company’s 50th anniversary year.
