Is the Mimaki CJV330 Worth the Upgrade in 2025?

In the fast-paced world of print and graphics, staying competitive means staying current. And in 2025, the Mimaki CJV330 Series continues to make waves as a top-tier eco-solvent printer/cutter — engineered for productivity, precision, and profit. But the question remains: Is it worth the upgrade?

Whether you're currently running older Mimaki models like the CJV150, JV100, or UCJV300, or you're coming from another brand entirely, this blog breaks down what makes the CJV330 stand out — and whether it justifies its place in your print shop this year.

What Is the Mimaki CJV330?

The CJV330 Series is Mimaki’s next-generation eco-solvent print-and-cut solution, available in 54”, 64”, and 74” widths. It combines high-speed printing with automated cutting and introduces major upgrades in color accuracy, workflow automation, and media handling.

This is more than just an update — it’s a strategic leap forward for professionals in sign making, vehicle wraps, decals, labels, and wide-format graphics.

Key Features of the CJV330

1. Enhanced Color Gamut and Image Quality

The CJV330 offers new color configurations, including orange and light black inks, which expand your ability to hit brand colors, smooth gradients, and detailed skin tones. Mimaki’s MAPS4 technology also helps eliminate banding, ensuring a polished finish even at higher print speeds.

2. Higher Productivity

With print speeds up to 107.6 sq. ft/hr in standard mode, the CJV330 is built for volume. The new take-up unit and enhanced tension control keep jobs running smoothly with fewer interruptions.

3. Integrated XY Slitter

One of the standout upgrades is the built-in XY slitter, allowing both horizontal and vertical cutting on the fly. This reduces the need for manual trimming and greatly speeds up post-production.

4. Dual-Roll Option

An optional dual-roll system allows for printing on two rolls at once — an advantage for busy shops juggling multiple clients or jobs simultaneously.

5. Improved Usability

The redesigned user interface, 4.3” touchscreen panel, internal LED lighting, and improved maintenance access make the CJV330 easier to operate and maintain than its predecessors.

Who Should Consider Upgrading to the CJV330?

Ideal for You If:

• You're running a high-volume shop that needs to increase output without compromising quality.
• You frequently manage multiple jobs and would benefit from faster turnaround and inline cutting.
• You need greater color accuracy for branding and high-end applications.
• You’re looking to streamline your workflow and reduce manual labor.

You May Want to Wait If:

• Your current printer (like a CJV150 or JV100) is still performing reliably and meeting your production needs.
• You operate at a lower production volume and don’t require dual-roll printing or inline slitting.
• You're in an early stage of business and weighing other priorities before making a significant upgrade.

Even if you're not ready to upgrade immediately, the CJV330 is worth keeping on your radar for future planning.
