 From the end of March 2010 onward Mimaki will ship its new direct-to-textile and dye sublimation inkjet printer, TX400-1800B that features a newly developed Adhesive Belt Carrier System. Now the new model Tx400-1800B which stabilizes flexible materials that tend to stretch and contract during printing is announced as an addition to the series following on from the Tx400-1800D that was launched last October.In the past textile large format printing implied long print runs and was mostly carried out on rotary screen-printing machines. Now increasingly on-demand short run production is required that can be better accommodated by inkjet technology. Inkjet printers feature economical, cost-saving workflow and production process. Only the exact amount of ink is required, which is needed for the application, thus decreasing water usage and significantly lowering the environmental footprint for production of short run textile printing in line with today’s demands.Until now there has been some reservation about productivity and running costs in digital textile printing, but the Tx400-1800B equipped with a newly developed Adhesive Belt Carrier System, which changes this perception. In contrast to the earlier model, this device stabilizes flexible materials that tend to stretch and contract during printing, thus enabling higher printing speeds as well as ink cost reduction. Tthe Tx400-1800B will be one of the most environmentally friendly large format printers for digital textile printing.
Shipment will commence from end of March.
"With Tx400-1800B, our environmentally friendly, cost-saving and outstanding series of direct-to-textile and dye-sublimation printers has been enhanced significantly with a highly productive model. Its innovative features and state-of-the-art technology enable our customers to broaden their portfolio while at the same time improving their operation costs", declares Kazuhide Yokoyama from Mimaki’s TA Business Unit.
