Mimaki USA announced the availability of Sb410 fluorescent pink and yellow, and light black dye sublimation ink. Fluorescent inks produce bright colors beyond the range reproducible by process color printing, while light black ink creates smooth gradations.

These original Mimaki inks are for use in the TS300P production dye sublimation printer. They are available in two-liter ink packs and are optimized for use in the Mimaki Bulk Ink System 3 (MBIS3) – standard on the TS300P printer.

Fluorescent inks are popular for sports outfits, fashion apparel and eye-catching soft signage. The fluorescent pink and yellow inks deliver bright neon colors beyond the range of colors reproducible by process color only, and are highly desirable in the sports apparel market. The fluorescent inks reach beyond the traditional color range of magenta and yellow inks, enabling the reproduction of intensely vivid colors.

The light black ink creates a smooth gradation and reproduces the nuanced tones of monochromatic photographs. Light black ink reduces the granular appearance, color shifting and tone jumps that occur on monochrome/grayscale prints.
