This “Search for Beauty,” which Mimaki strives for is the combination of technologies, such as ink-jetting, drop-size control, ink-drying, and banding reduction with other various technological innovations, which have allowed us to reach the next level in our industry. This technology results in a completely unprecedented level of smoothness and vividness. It beautifully prints pictures, illustrations, and even designs that include extensive amounts of intricate gradations.
General inkjet printing is made of each belt-like print pass. Therefore, banding, i.e., fine horizontal stripes between passes, is found occasionally. The JV300 has MAPS3 with newly developed jetting patterns. The MAPS3 reduces banding and uneven color printing with blurred boundaries similar to gradation printing. In addition, the numbers of ink droplets are reduced around boundaries; therefore, printed ink is dried evenly and banding in bidirectional printing is also avoided. The MAPS3 presents print design onto the media without recognizable banding and delivers high-quality print results on wide-panel and signage printing.
We can consistently maintain the ink-jetting angle, shape, and ink droplet placement to maintain an optimal condition during printing by controlling the waveform of the ink droplets. We can also achieve high-image quality that is true to the original design image itself and maximally reduce bleeding, non-uniformity, and discoloring by improving the accuracy of the ink droplet placement. We are confident about the planar expression of our printouts, which prevent the viewer from perceiving them as appearing grainy, given the smoothness of the gradation. The quality of the characters and lines and the sharpness in the edge areas are nothing short of stunning.
Grainy appearance and uneven color is found because spaces between ink droplets and overlapped ink droplets.
Smooth prints are obtained because of no overlapped ink droplets.
Mimaki's idea, which involves increasing print speed through heating the media before printing, heating the printed ink surface, and then heating the entire device after printing, has resulted in an evolution in technology that realizes high-speed printing every time a new model is developed. The JV300 is no exception because it adopts a 3Way Intelligent heater composed of a Pre-heater, a Print Heater, and a Post-heater. Additionally, the top blower supports high-speed drying.

Various ink droplet sizes, Large/Middle/Small, are precisely placed. Thus, smooth gradation and skin tone are produced
by 4-color printing.
According to ink types and print modes, JV300-130/160 automatically select three optimum droplet sizes of Large,
Medium, and Small among seven droplet sizes including 4pl, 7pl, 8pl, 14pl, 16pl, 23pl, and 35pL. Thus, high-ink density
printing is available at the high-speed mode. Thus, the JV300-130/160 satisfies a wide range of needs including beautiful
and smooth high-quality printing and productive high-speed and high-density printing.
