Mimaki to debut hybrid textile printer at FESPA

11/02/2020
Printer manufacturer Mimaki has developed a new hybrid digital textile printer capable of direct-to-textile and transfer printing, with interchangeable platens and three ink combinations. 

The Mimaki Tx300P-1800 MkII (which is a newer version of the Tx300P-1800) is said to enable both smaller print service providers and large volume production houses to conduct cost-effective short runs and faster turnarounds, particularly suitable to sampling.

Being able to switch between direct-to-textile and transfer printing is enabled by the printer’s interchangeable platens. When printing direct-to-textile, excess ink penetrated through the fabric is drained by a platen with an ink-receiving channel. When printing on heat transfer paper the platen can be exchanged for a vacuum platen needed for paper printing. 

Three different ink combinations include textile pigment/direct sublimation, textile pigment/sublimation transfer, or direct sublimation/sublimation transfer. The new hybrid digital textile printer is one of 15 products the company will exhibit at FESPA this year.
