Mimaki announces that textile and apparel professionals have warmly received its Tiger 1800B production-class textile printer, which is designed as direct-to-textile (reactive ink) and sublimation (heat transfer) version. With a maximum printing speed of 385sq m/h, the textile printer fits high-volume production environments that have traditionally printed using analogue printing methods, bringing the benefits of digital printing to these higher volume applications and making it more efficient and cost-effective to produce short runs, customised fabrics and garments, and samples.
Digital printing of textiles also addresses the massive amount of pollution attributed to the textile industry, one of the world’s biggest polluters. In this respect, with production level printers like Mimaki Tiger 1800B, manufacturers of textile graphics, garments and home goods can take advantage of digital technology to reduce their environmental footprint, establishing a more sustainable operation while also providing brands and retailers with the benefits they are seeking.
