As with the lovely folks above, I too purchased the Mimaki CJV200 and have been running it for 2-3 months now.
New to digital printing, seasoned in screenprinting and plotting & very much tech savvy though.
I had been struggling on pulling the trigger on a digital printer as an addition to my shop, ended up on this.
The specs I have are dual-CMYK on the BS4 inks ( the only inks available in my Country ) & I pretty much exclusively do vinyl stickers on it (without lamination for now).
For now I've been using ORAJET® 3164 on it to keep costs low until I make back my investment.
The TL;DR is it's a brilliant little printer & much less problematic than I'd envisioned it being.
Print Quality = Super good based on my comparison of a handful of similar-spec printers on the market. I mainly run it on uni-direction & I produce incredible details (e.g. tiny font that's vector quality). Colours are true-to-file and vibrant.
Drying / Ink Related = I run the heater on 35/35/45 but in my experience using uni-direction or high passes (or perhaps utilizing the "Pause Time after Scan"?) is needed to avoid minor drying issues during printing. I do air out whatever I produce for as long as possible before continuing on to cutting & packaging.
Plotting / Cutting = It's fairly capable though slow ( as advertised ) but if I were you I'd never bother cutting without using registration marks as the no-marks cutting is unreliable to say the least. I already had Summas though so I use those 90% of the time.
Maintenance = It's fairly straightforward, you just shake the inks every 3 days & do a full clean at least once a week. Haven't had any noteworthy issues.
Price-to-performance Ratio = Unmatched in my opinion - based on similar "entry level" printers it's an extremely good bang for your buck, again in my opinion.
Print Durability = If dried properly the print is perfectly reliable and I've only heard positive things from customers, though for any hardcore use cases I'd definitely laminate - however, most high-intensity applications that come my way are better suited for screenprinting anyway so I haven't bothered getting a cold laminator yet.
Ease of use = For me it's a piece of cake to operate & fiddle with, but I have to recognize that both the printer's UI & RasterLink itself feel beyond outdated for my standards. Though I can't knock it for that as from my testing other printers I've come to realize they're all on par or worse in terms of UI/UX & clunkiness.
What I'd go for if I had a way higher budget = Likely a UV printer such as the UCJV330 due to instant curing, addition of white ink & possibility for 4-layer stuff. Though I personally prefer the look & feel of solvent printers more.
Apologies for the rather long read, simply wanted to give a relatively thorough overview.
Tried to avoid information that's material-related or pertaining to personal workflow details as those are case-by-case things.
