Mimaki exclusive inks
Two types of solvent inks are available for JV5 series
JV5 SERIES SOLVENT INKJET PRINTERS
•HS Ink
A solvent ink meeting the needs for high
scratch resistance and high-speed high density
printing required for outdoor signboard printing.
Since HS ink has a strong odor, an air purifying
system is recommended.
•ES3 Inks
A safe and low odor solvent ink usable that
can be used even in general offices without
special exhausting facilities. It is also possible
to print on non-coated medias. However, the
drying time of ES3 ink is longer than HS ink.

Variable head number control
JV5 SERIES SOLVENT INKJET PRINTERS
In the event of failures on a head or heads, the
JV5 series still can print with the rest of the
heads specified by operator.
(Printing can be performed with min. 1 head)
Defective head
(inability to fire)
The JV5 prints with the
remaining 3 print heads
PRODUCT GUIDE

Automatic workflow
Long uninterrupted printing (1760 cc
per color) in 4-color mode is
possible with the UISS function.
When one of the two ink cartridges
is empty, the ink supply is switched
to the other cartridge automatically.
With this feature, it is possible to
print a whole roll of media (approx.
50 m) without changing cartridges.
The Uninterrupted Ink Supply System
JV5 SERIES SOLVENT INKJET PRINTERS
PRODUCT GUIDE

Automatic nozzle failure detection
JV5 SERIES SOLVENT INKJET PRINTERS
•The ink discharged from the print head
is monitored by the automatic nozzle
failure detection and recovery system,
which results in quick detection and
recovery of clogged nozzles.
•This feature saves time and money. It
lowers the chance of print failure caused
by head clogging and reduces the waste
of ink and media.

•The thickness of the media is automatically detected and the head height can be
automatically adjusted to get the designated head gap.
•Even when the thickness of the media changes, printing can be done with a
constant head gap. This enables the user to always obtain the best printing result.
• There are four head gaps available from 1.5 mm to 7 mm.
With manyother inkjetprinters the change of head gap can have a negative effecton print quality
and can cause a head crash.With currentmodelsit is necessary to adjust the head height manually.

Automatic media feeder for JV5-130S/160S
A new automaticmedia feederis now
availablefor JV5-130Sand JV5-160S.With
this feature,the printerswill be able to handle
up to 130 kg roll weight,instead of 38 kg.
Two available take-up devices for JV5-320S
•Take-up device for printingon wide and
heavy media
•Take-up device for printing on vinyl/ PVC
film,standard-sized media,etc.
PRODUCT GUIDE

Three-way intelligent heater
JV5 SERIES SOLVENT INKJET PRINTERS
The triple stage intelligent heater
automatically heats up the media to the
appropriate temperature, improving the
performance of the ink.
Pre-heater and print-heater
The pre-heater and print-heater reduce
ink bleeding and contributes to high
quality printing results.
Post-heater
The large post-heater quickens the
drying time of the ink and thus enables
a fast take-up of the media.
PRODUCT GUIDE

New innovative functions for JV5-320S
•Mesh printing innovation
Automatic drainage system to remove excess ink
An ink tray receives excess ink which passes through a mesh so avoiding the requirement for
a liner. Ink in tray automatically raked out to enable longer printing without worrying about ink
overflow (option). This way, high quality print is achieved without staining from excess ink.
•Double sided printing innovation
New function for eye catching backlit applications
By printing on both sides of FF (flexible face), images for viewing both at night and in daylight
can be enhanced to show the same greater brilliance. When printing on the reverse side, a
sensor detects marks printed on the front side and automatically compensates for shrinkage
caused by solvent. In addition the printing position in the head movement direction can be
changed manually during printing so that the relative positions of double sided images can be
adjusted
