MIMAKI SWJ-320EA

Main Features
A successor to the legendary SWJ-320S4, the Mimaki SWJ-320EA is a revolutionary 3.2 metre-wide solvent printer complete with new generation high-speed print heads arranged in stagger mode, making it possible to print large format images for almost any exterior or interior purpose. Its functionality is further expanded by Mimaki Core Technologies, including MAPS4 and NRS, offering a unique ratio of affordable price, high quality and reliability.

Print quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness

Variable dot delivers smooth gradation for high resolution image quality
To reduce a grainy appearance, the 3 most optimum drop sizes (7pl minimum) are automatically selected, depending on the print mode. Grainy appearance is also reduced by using the 900x1200dpi high resolution print mode available for high quality printing

Twin-roll printing as optional
Double your production volume per day with twin-roll printing function, use up to 2 rolls, maximum width of 1,524mm each (should have the same thickness). Alternatively, media with different widths can be used. Handle different jobs at the same time: different data can be assigned to each roll of media.

Print speed
High speed production at the speed of max. 137sqm/h for distance viewing and 35 sqm/h (600×600 dpi) for short range viewing.

Ink supply and configuration

• High productivity, low ink consumption, and excellent cost performance
• Uses eco-solvent CS100, 2L supplied ink (CMYK), which remains weather resistant after three years. More affordable than conventional ink cartridges, it has exceptional stability and low propensity to clog nozzles.
• Newly-developed ink tank contains max. of 3L ink per colour which can be filled at once for longer production runs with less interaction

Print head configuration

• 4 print heads arranged in staggered mode for dynamic production
• 1280 nozzles (320 nozzles × 4 lines) per head
• 4 heads with total 5,120 nozzles

Optimised media feeding for uninterrupted printing

• Heavy duty media feed system enhances operation efficiency
• Head carriage equipped with two media jam sensors to detect wrinkled or draped media surface, preventing damage to print heads, a head strike or media jam
• Pinch rollers with high-accuracy and high-grip ensure stable media feeding and reduces uneven colour printing due to misalignment and banding
• Newly designed tension bar and take-up system for stable media feeding
• Constant tension on media even after the media roll diameter changes guarantees high-definition printing.

Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS 4)

• Reduction of banding, even at higher speed
• Disperses ink drops overlapping the passes, preventing uneven ink drying and bi-directional stripes
• MAPS4 works in the higher pass modes of each resolution, delivering stable high quality printing
• Print operator is able to use parameters for optimal speed / quality

Nozzle Recovery System (NRS)

• Mimaki's NRS enables replacement of clogged nozzles with open available nozzles, reducing printer interruption, production loss and poor image quality
• When the print operator detects a clogged nozzle, the missing nozzle can be replaced automatically or manually
• Makes printing possible even if nozzles are missing
• This NRS feature increases uptime and postpones service intervention

Rasterlink6 Plus for intuitive operation

• Rasterlink6 Plus is Mimaki's own RIP (Raster Image Processor) software
• 16-bit rendering for smooth gradation
• Accurate ink consumption calculation
• Twin roll printing layout
• Choice of multiple profiles in one job for testing new media
• All information on one screen: the status of the printer, print job and progress of the ripping can be checked at a glance
• Nesting or composition of job are displayed visually
• Up to 30 settings can be registered and frequently used settings set as "favourites"
• Industry standard PANTONE colour libraries are included for the most accurate colour reproduction
• Spot colour control: create and manage custom spot colour libraries
• Colour replacement: replace colours with custom values, or use values from a spectrophotometer after measuring the desired colour
• Estimated completion time display
• Enhanced layout function
• Print status display
