MIMAKI Europe has announced the launch of a new aqueous pigment ink AP50, designed for use with the company’s Tiger600-1800TS. With this new solution, MIMAKI brings its flagship Tiger technology – renowned in textile printing for its maximum print speed of 550sqm/h – to the sign & graphics industry, providing a high-speed, high-quality and environmentally responsible solution for printed out-of-home advertising, such as blueback and citylight posters. Equipped with the AP50 pigment ink, the Tiger600-1800TS delivers an outstanding production speed for any design of up to 220sqm/h, along with exceptional image precision enabled by Mimaki’s proprietary image processing and media transport control technologies.
Tiger600-1800TS allows customers to produce high-volume advertising and display graphics with the same level of reliability and performance that has defined MIMAKI’s success in textiles. Developed specifically for fast-turnaround graphics, this new AP50 aqueous pigment ink for the Tiger delivers vivid colour reproduction and sharp, smudge-resistant images thanks to its excellent drying properties. With enhanced red saturation, it ensures superior visibility and impact, which makes it ideal for campaign visuals, retail displays, and food advertising. Also, designed for digital coated papers similar to those used in latex and solvent printing, the AP50 ink ensures easy integration into existing poster production workflows. Primarily composed of water, it is also scheduled to obtain GREENGUARD Gold certification, reinforcing MIMAKI’s commitment to safe and sustainable printing practices.
