Mimaki Engineering Co introduces inkjet dye sublimation printer, which is designed specifically for the sublimation transfer market with high speed and quality in mind. Sublimation transfer printing is widely utilised for sportswear applications due to the elasticity and quick-drying capability of polyester material and in the growing market of soft signage applications, such as flags, retail in-store banners and tapestries.
With a staggered array of two newly developed print heads, Mimaki TS34-1800A is capable of printing up to 32.0 sq m/h at 540×720 dpi. Furthermore, the machine can achieve a printing speed of 17.7 sq m/h in six-colour mode at the same resolution, responding to the needs for superior quality prints, with minimal amount of grainy appearance and smooth gradations. These features make the TS34-1800A suitable for both large-sized soft signs and apparel applications, which require quick response and fine image quality respectively.
