JV33 Series (JV33-130/160/260)
Dye Sublimation Transfer Printers

Dye sublimation printing

In dye sublimation transfer printing, the image is printed onto transfer paper. The type of paper depends on your printer and the output you need.

After printing a heat press or a calendar is needed to fix the image onto substrate. This process causes the dye particles to sublimate. At least 50% of the material needs to be polyester to successfully transfer the image onto fabric.

Hard substrates need to be pretreated with a polymer coating.

High speed print head

With its increased print head accuracy, the JV33 Series delivers truly high quality print of 1440 dpi. In addition, the improved ink firing frequency has increased the print speed by 30% over the JV3 Series.

Print speeds
When printing in 6-colour mode, the speed is approximately 50% lower.

Unattended continuous printing

Uninterrupted Ink Supply System (UISS)
Standard on JV33 is the Uninterrupted Ink Supply System. This system allows for continuous printing in 4-colour mode. A maximum of 880 cc ink per colour can be loaded at one time. When one ink cartridge runs out, another cartridge begins supplying ink. Ink cartridges can be changed during printing. With 880 cc of ink, a 50 m roll of media can be printed without interruption.

Mimaki Bulk Ink System (MBIS) - optional
The bulk ink system is an eco-friendly ink system that produces less waste while achieving continuous printing. It uses 2-litre ink packs and achieves as stable and reliable ink ejection as printing solely with cartridges. It is possible to use both 2-litre ink packs in combination with regular 220/440cc cartridges.

Triple stage intelligent heater

The triple stage intelligent heater automatically heats up the media to the appropriate temperature. Thereby improving the performance of the ink. The mounted post-heater quickens the drying time and thus enables a fast take-up of the media.

Stable media feeding

The multi point grid roller system ensures stable feeding of media, which is especially important for long unattended print runs.

High quality and durable inks

The fast drying and high density dye sublimation inkset features the four process colours plus light blue and light magenta, and offers incredible vibrant colours, with a wide colour gamut, including increased density of black.
