We have conducted printouts of the exhibition works using "JV330-160" and "JV100-160".

I would like to reduce operating costs while increasing productivity compared to conventional methods.

We are transferring from a two-machine setup of JV300 and M-64s to a single JV330-160, aiming not only for cost reduction but also for space savings and increased productivity.

In addition to the increasing cost of outsourcing as the business expanded, it took a long time to deliver products during the busy outsourcing period, which sometimes resulted in missed business opportunities.

With the introduction of the JV330-160, together with the previously introduced UJF-6042MkII e (Mimaki UV machine), approximately 80% of goods production was done in-house, enabling delivery in a short period of time. In addition, a wide range of cost reductions have been realized by in-house production of interior decorations and pop-ups used in the company's own stores. The company plans to add more equipment in the future to increase the in-house production ratio to close to 100%.

Need a printer that female designer can easily use

"JV330-130" was introduced. The "media changer," which can simultaneously load media used daily and special media used occasionally, has made it easier for a single woman to change media, reducing the operator's time and effort.

Equally achieving high productivity and high-definition output for large-volume orders. Orderly decommissioning and replacing older equipment with new ones.

Enjoying more satisfaction with increased productivity and better image quality. Nishimatsu-tent ventures into fabric field.

The Team was seeking for large-format machines capable of high speed output as the maintenance period of the previous "M-64s" was drawing to a close.

"JV330-130" was then introduced, and the machine is operating without problems ever since. The printer, with its high quality, stability, and speed in general output mode, has successfully replaced the "M-64s".

We were having trouble concerning unsatisfactory printing result against demanding accuracy, or difficulty of faithful expression of gray color.

JV100-160 has almost accurate printing result as we expect, allowing us to work on urgent projects with confidence. And the application of orange and light-black inks of JV100-160 expanded the color gamut, resulting in faithful color reproduction and provided a wider range in expression.

Since the company's main clientele is private customers, they were looking for machines that could work efficiently to handle high-mix, small-lot production.

The company introduced the "TS100-1600" sublimation transfer printer and the "CJV300-160 Plus" print & cut machine. In addition to stable operation, the ID cut function of the print & cut machine has improved work efficiency.

We would like to introduce an inkjet printer that can handle quick delivery and output of about 100m²/month for the production of signboards for construction sites.

By installing the JV100-160, we have succeeded not only in achieving the production volume as requested, but also in reducing the ink cost by using a 2L bulk ink supply system. The automatic sheet cutting function has also reduced our workload. In the future, we would also like to produce signboards with graphics and photos.

“High productivity”, “high-definition”, and “beauty of the solid area” are required for printing supersized graphics used for decoration of events like concert venues. M-64s fulfills these requirements, which makes it our favorite printer. However, we want to replace it because minor errors occur frequently. We also want to avoid troubles associated with the change of the dealer/maintenance provider (from OKI to Mimaki).

After replacing the machines, they started to operate smoothly and allowed us to work on almost the maximum production from the start. Minor errors decreased significantly compared to the previous machines. The stable operation is generating more cushion on the delivery schedule than ever. We did not have any particular dissatisfaction over the support, but we feel a sense of security in the support of Mimaki specializing in large-format printer.
