If you have Mimaki JV5 printer,

One of leading products which launched almost 4-5 years ago Mimaki JV5 come out to market with printouts upto 40 sqm with original inks .

As Mimaki Japan with precise and high quality production ,DX5 based JV5 has serious issues with 4 staggered head  due to ink flow sensitivity.

Most of clients who has JV5 and using original inks has no complain about speed but complaints are coming out with Scratchability of ink.

If they use 3rd part inks,they have a lot issues on ink dropping out and lowerin speed due to increase pass speed.

Here are the Inks recommended for Mimaki JV5 printers:


1.INX DIGITAL ,JVV SERIES: This series doesnt block head but need print higher pass and lower speed.

2.MARABU: This series have also same issues.

3.BORDEOUX INKS: (Prime Series) have common sense of scratchability issue.

4.Stetjet Inks (www.stetjet.com) : Most closest ink to original Mimaki JV5 ink is this but it is also scratchability issue.


I tried some Far East products ,Jetbest and Blackjet is not enough capabilities for Mimaki JV5  production and print quality.
