JV5-320DS 3.2m direct-to-polyester or sublimation transfer printer

Differences between direct and transfer printing

Direct printing
This method enables direct printing on pretreated polyester using dye sublimation inks and post-treatment heating in order to achieve the highest quality and bright vivid colours. Transfer paper is not needed, saving costs especially when longer runs are printing.

Sublimation transfer printing
In dye sublimation transfer printing, the image is printed onto transfer paper. After printing, a heat press or a calendar is needed to fix the image onto the substrate. The advantage of transfer printing is the high quality and durable output for both polyester based materials and hard substrates.

Print speed

Depending on print conditions, the JV5-320DS is capable of printing up to 60.3 sqm/h

Printing in 4-colour mode, bi-directional

Printing in 6-colour mode, bi-directional

Unattended Continuous Printing

Uninterrupted Ink Supply System (UISS)
When an ink cartridge runs out, another cartridge automatically begins to supply ink to prevent interruption of printing. A maximum of 1760 ml ink per colour can be loaded at once. Ink cartridges can be changed during printing and unattended overnight continuous printing is possible.

Mimaki Bulk Ink System (MBIS)
The optional MBIS uses 2-litre ink packs. It produces less waste and lowers ink cost, while achieving continuous printing at the same time.

Take-up and feeding device

JV5-320DS enables secure and accurate
feeding of heavy media up to 3250 mm width and up to 130 kg weight. The machine incorporates a tension bar to maintain constant media tension. In addition, a take-up device for adjusting take-up tension is included. Thus, both heavy and less wide media can be used with ease.
