Mimaki USA – a wide-format inkjet printer’s provider – recently introduced two textile and apparel inkjet printers named TS100-1600 sublimation transfer inkjet printer and Tiger-1800B Mk III which is a high-speed textile inkjet printer with a belt conveying system.
The TS100-1600 is an entry-level, high-performance sublimation printer that meets a diverse range of on-demand production.
As claimed by Mimaki USA, it’s able to produce highly detailed, photographic quality prints with a wide array of colours and gradient capabilities. The tonal quality is possible with print speeds up to 753 ft2/hour.
On the other hand, the Tiger-1800B Mk III is a new high-speed textile production model which features the new Mimaki Printer Controller (MPC).
MPC is touch-screen operation software that enables faster operation and tighter control of production and quality.
The Tiger-1800B Mk III combines high productivity with a maximum print speed of 4,144 ft2/hour and long operating stability. The 10 kg ink tanks increase run-times and lower running costs.
Depending on ink type and print mode, four different droplet sizes are available to achieve smoother colours and transitions.
According to the company, the needs of the textile and apparel customers today have drastically evolved and a shift from mass production to just-in-time production of more personalised goods can clearly be seen.
“Customers increasingly request shorter lead times, which require greater agility to produce goods quickly and efficiently, regardless of production run size. These textile printers serve all these purposes,” said Mimaki USA.
