Mimaki USA’s 77-inch-wide, roll-to-roll production model is a dedicated transfer paper printer offering “new levels of quality and productivity for digital textile printing or applications requiring transfer to hard surfaces.” The TS300P Printer made its North American debut at the National Business Media (NBM) Show yesterday in Long Beach, California.
“Mimaki has a long history of developing products for the digital textile printing industry and is a recognized leader in this segment,” said Ken VanHorn, Director, Marketing and Business Development for Mimaki USA. “The TS300P printer is a new, high production, feature-rich printer that leverages years of expertise and industry learning in the dye sublimation process. It’s been engineered specifically for the dye-sublimation industry delivering cost-effective and high quality printing while significantly increasing productivity on thin-transfer materials.”
Features include: a high-gap printhead that ensures accurate ink droplet placement with a high head gap, enabling high quality printing on thin-transfer paper; a media handling system that uses a powerful vacuum-feed platen that holds media taut, while larger media press plates minimize cockling by reducing media uplift immediately after printing; print speeds of up to 1,238 square feet per hour in four-colour mode and up to 700 square feet per hour in six-colour mode; new Sb410 sublimation inks that offer enhanced resolvability, which improves the print production yield by ensuring more stable ink jetting; four printheads with a total of 3,200 nozzles and up to three different drop sizes; Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4 (MAPS4) that prints passes in a gradation-like method by dispensing ink drops between passes thus reducing banding, uneven ink drying and bi-directional stripes; several workflow enhancements; and more.
