Not to mention that these specialty inks take up channels that could otherwise be used for CMYK-you will not print as fast as you would without them. You'll find yourself spending lots of money on ink that was never used for jobs. Even if you don't have white/metallic jobs, you'll need to run prints regularly using this ink to keep the nozzles healthy and move it through the ink lines because the pigments tend to settle out. Every time you run a cleaning (which is done frequently) you will be using the specialty ink. It would have to be more than once or twice a year to make it worth it.
Its a workhorse and will blow away the Mutoh any day of the week in construction, Print speed and value
If I were you I would look at the Mimaki for sale on this forum (CJV30-160) Only Laytex inks are Opaque so if you need to print white (dont know why you would)
Solvent-based Whit inks are not Opaque (there transparent) Stay away from "Solvent" based "White" ink Im just a 53-year-old guy with 20 years of workable experience with many types of large format printersĪnd I am still owning a sign shop to this day with 2 large format printers, 2 DTG's, 2 large format laminators,Ģ 64 inch Graphtech cutters and so much more IMO with 20 years of experience, Mutoh as a company uses cheaper made partsĬompared to Roland and Mimaki and no I am not a Mimaki Fan Boy nor am I a troll The Capping station is junk on the Mutoh and has to be replaced almost every 3 or 4 months (For a busy graphics shop printing all day every day)Īlso in my vast experience, the heaters go bad after a few years and have to be replacedĪnd I have had to replace many circuit boards and the list goes on and on My 64" Mimaki weighs 200 lbs more than my 64" "Motuh because of I learned how to fix them myself because they broke down a lotĭID you know you can turn any Dyesub or inkjet printer into a Solvent printer just by adding Heatersĭid that for years as well and made a ton of moneyĬonstruction compared to a Roland or Mimaki is horrible
