Mimaki USA has announced the availability of its new High Density Sb54 and Sb310 Dye Sublimation Inks for use with the company’s printers for transfer to textile or hard-surface applications. Developed and manufactured by Mimaki, Sb54 and Sb310 inks offer “higher density printing that produces more vivid colour results than preceding Sb53 and Sb300 inks.” The new inks also offer enhanced resolvability, improving the print production yield by ensuring stable inkjetting. Output consistency is improved, minimizing agglutination after fixing to prevent colour migration and lower vapour emissions during the transfer process, said the OEM. Mimaki added that the improved ink stability means daily cleaning is easier and fewer regular cleanings are required – further contributing to cost reduction and higher throughput. The inks are available through authorized Mimaki dealers.
Sb54 inks (B, M, Y, K, Lbl, Lm) are packaged in 440 ml cartridges and 2-litre packs, and are compatible with the following models: JV300-130/160, JV150-130/160, CJV300-130/160, CJV150-107/130/160, JV33-130/160, JV5-130S/160S and TS34-1800A. Sb310 inks (B, M, Y, K, Lbl, Lm) are packaged in 2-litre bottles and are for use in the TS500-1800 printer.
