Mimaki has released a hybrid inkjet printer for textile and apparel market which can load simultaneously two different type of inks (textile pigment and sublimation dye ink) and can print with only one printer direct on materials such as cotton, hemp and polyester. The new technology that was not possible earlier is now available for Tx300P-1800 without belt, and Tx300P-1800B with belt, direct on textile printers. The systems do not require usage of water in the post-treatment process. Recently, in the textile and apparel markets, quick deliveries, short and customized production close to the customer area are increasing along with mass production in areas where production cost is low.
Newly unpacked Mimaki Tx300P-1800 and Tx300P-1800B are specifically designed to address the need in the textiles and apparel industries for cost-effective short run printing of textile for products or samples. To accommodate a wide range of requirements for printing directly on textile, Mimaki is offering five different ink types. Depending on the textile, one ink per printer must be selected. With the Tx300P-1800 and Tx300P-1800B sublimation dye ink, dispersion dye ink, textile pigment ink, reactive dye ink and acid dye ink can be selected.
