If you work in wide-format printing, you’ll know one thing for sure: time, space and sanity are all premium commodities. That’s exactly why the Mimaki CJV200 Series has quietly become the trusted workhorse for print-and-cut businesses everywhere. It’s the kind of machine people recommend because it simply gets the job done beautifully. It’s not another bulky bit of kit gathering dust in the corner, it’s a smart, sharp, no-nonsense printer-cutter that delivers commercial quality without the faff. Here’s what makes the Mimaki CJV200 Series such a standout choice.
One Machine, Endless Possibilities
At the heart of the CJV200 Series is the promise of “print and cut in one go.” Rather than running separate machines, one for printing and another for cutting, the CJV200 merges both processes into a single streamlined workflow.
This integrated print-and-cut capability is a game changer. It reduces equipment costs, conserves workshop space and cuts down on handling time and waste, which translates into faster turnaround times for your clients. From labels to vehicle wraps, banners to stickers, decals to signage, the CJV200 adapts quickly and easily saving you hassle and extra man hours.
Commercial Quality That Doesn’t Compromise Speed
Quite naturally printers assume there’s a dip in quality when you roll two machines into one but that isn’t the case with this machine - quality most definitely isn’t sacrificed for convenience. The CJV200 Series is built on the advanced “330 Engine,” a single-printhead system that delivers high-density, high-resolution prints.
With resolutions up to 1200 dpi and variable-drop ink technology, it produces vibrant, sharp results even at high speeds. Whether you’re producing crisp signage, colourful decals or intricate stickers, the level of detail is superb.
Even at a high level of quality, the CJV200 still remains efficient: typical practical print speeds are around 17.0 m²/h, meaning it's more than capable of handling high-volume production or seasonal peaks without sacrificing finish.
Flexibility To Suit All-Kinds Of Projects
One of the biggest strengths of the CJV200 Series is its flexibility and ability to cater for multiple printer needs. It comes in multiple width variants - from the 800 mm-wide (CJV200-75), through mid-range 1,361 mm (CJV200-130), up to 1,610 mm (CJV200-160). This variation means that
whether you’re doing small-format stickers or large signage and vehicle wraps, there’s a model sized appropriately for the job.
Moreover, it supports a wide range of materials including vinyl, banners, posters, decals, wraps, labels and more. From indoor point-of-sale displays to weather-resistant outdoor signage, the CJV200 can complete the job without compromising on quality or media.
User-Friendly Design Means No Tech PhD Required
One common barrier to investing in wide-format gear is perceived complexity. This can put many operators off and lead to situations where they stick with the creaking legacy systems they already have simply because it feels more familiar. But the CJV200 addresses this head-on. Its single-printhead design simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. Changing inks or media, cleaning print heads or switching from one job to another is all easier than many comparable machines and doesn’t require specialist knowledge.
The machine also offers automatic media adjustment, helping ensure optimal print results with minimal fuss. That means even operators without years of specialist experience can get up and running quickly.
For small businesses, creatives or one-man shops this ease-of-use, combined with powerful capability, makes it an asset on any print shop floor.
Eco-Conscious Inks And Future-Proof Production
The CJV200 doesn’t just improve your bottom line it also improves sustainability and reduces the environmental impact. The printer supports eco-solvent ink options (like SS22) that are less harmful and more environmentally friendly than older solvent inks.
This means you can deliver high durability (suitable for outdoor use, resistant to weather and fade) without compromising on safety or regulatory compliance. This is something that’s increasingly important as environmental standards and customer expectations tighten
The All-Rounder For Small And Medium Print Businesses
Taking all its benefits together - integrated print and cut, multiple size options, broad media support, high print quality, ease of use and eco-solvent ink support - the Mimaki CJV200 Series is a fundamentally important piece of equipment that can bring demonstrable benefits to your print business.
For businesses providing signage, decals, vehicle graphics, labels, wraps or promotional prints - or even creative collaborators in vinyl, wallpaper or event-graphics work - the CJV200 offers a consistent, reliable, high-quality solution. With minimal complexity and maximum flexibility, it's perfect for shops that need to respond quickly, handle varied jobs and produce top-quality results.
In short: whether you’re a one-man studio or a small team handling varied print workloads, the CJV200 Series eliminates many of the common pain points. And for businesses looking to scale, diversify, or take on bigger jobs, it’s a smart investment that pays off fast.
