Mimaki’s Tx300P-1800 and Tx300P-1800B direct-to-textile printers can now handle the simultaneous loading of textile pigment for cotton and hemp materials and sublimation inks for polyester materials.
“This is a very exciting development for our textile print customers,” said Stephen Woodall national sales manager - textile and apparel, for Hybrid Services, Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Ireland distributor. “Mimaki has listened carefully to feedback from this sector and understood the need for greater print production flexibility and productivity whilst still providing an affordable package coupled with a compact footprint.”
Mimaki’s TP400 textile pigment ink, which consists of solvent, pigment and binder agent, is fixed through heat without impairing the breathability and water absorbency of the fabric, removing the need for large post-treatment equipment.
The Mimaki Sb420 sublimation dye ink is designed for use with pre-treated polyesters. The colour is fixed using heat after printing and printing on polyester.
