Mimaki Europe added two high-performance textile printers to its product portfolio: The Mimaki TS100-1600 and the Mimaki Tiger-1800B MkIII Printer.
The TS100-1600 is Mimaki’s latest addition to its ‘100 series’ portfolio.
“The textile printing industry has seen a growing requirement for increased product variety, lower inventories and shorter delivery times," said Bert Benckhuysen, senior product manager at Mimaki Europe. "Add to that the economic challenges of 2020 and we recognized that the market needed a digital textile printer that combined high quality, on-demand output with low initial investment and cost-effective production.
"Having seen the success of our 100 series printers for the same reasons in other sectors, we knew that introducing a textile printer to this range would provide our customers with an opportunity to expand their businesses and seek new revenue opportunities, even amid these challenging times," he added.
Available in the EMEA beginning in April 2021, the TS100-1600 has a print width of 1,600 mm and a speed of 70 m2/h in the fastest mode.
The Tiger-1800B MkIII is available as a high-quality direct-to-textile (reactive or direct sublimation) or sublimation transfer printing solution.
“The textile industry is fast-moving, highly creative and leaves little room for error,” Benckhuysen said. “Printers in this market require a robust system that will deliver the speed, quality and innovation needed to keep pace with this exciting industry. The new capabilities of the Tiger-1800B MkIII build on those featured in successful predecessor models to meet these requirements head-on.”
