Graphic Printing Technologies (GPT) has developed a new printer based on an existing Mimaki machine. The new GPT 190s can print high speed mode at 35 square metres per hour (540d pi x 720 dpi – good quality banner mode), standard speed at 24 square metres per hour (540 dpi x 1080 dpi – good quality vinyl mode) and highest quality at 15 square metres per hour (720 dpi x 1440 dpi - highest quality vinyl mode). It is a 1.9 metres wide printer, incorporating double printheads (as the JV34 260) to deliver the additional speed.
The printer has been created by adapting an existing Mimaki textile printer and includes a full two year parts and labour warranty, Mimaki inks and RIP. It also has an optional trough for unbacked mesh materials, and an optional Mimaki bulk ink system for cheaper ink costs.
Stuart Cole, general manager of GPT, said: ‘This is what many of our customers have requested. It provides all the benefits of the JV33 160, more akin to the JV34 for speed with the double heads, a 1.9 metre print width, and is incredibly good value for money.’
The new printer will be available exclusively from GPT.
