Best Printable Vinyl & Banner Films for Mimaki JV300 Plus (2026 Buyer's Guide)
Printable Vinyl & Banner Films Compatible with Mimaki JV300 Plus
The Mimaki JV300 Plus is the print-only sibling of the CJV300 Plus — same SS21 (or BS3) eco-solvent inkset, same 54-inch and 64-inch print widths, but no integrated contour cut. JV300 Plus owners typically pair it with a separate plotter or a finishing partner. This page covers the Graphictac films our team has tested on the JV300 Plus plus the recommended profiles and ink density values.

JV300 Plus vs CJV300 Plus: media compatibility
Same inkset, same print engine, same media handling. The only practical difference is that JV300 Plus owners don't worry about cut-sensor reliability on chrome and holographic films — print and laminate, then send to a plotter (or a finishing partner) for cutting. This actually expands the usable film selection: chrome and holographic films work great on the JV300 Plus without the matte-laminate-before-cut requirement.
