Mimaki sets to inspire digital print heroes at FESPA Digital

Located in Hall 1, Stand E15, Mimaki’s exhibit will be one of the first that visitors to the show will experience, and it will not disappoint.

At this year's FESPA Digital, Mimaki will showcase its TS300P-1800 wide-format printer, a dye sublimation inkjet machine for apparel and textile applications that was launched last year. 

The firm has recently expanded its sublimation ink range with light black, neon yellow and pink fluorescent inks, which will expand apparel production possibilities for users and increase the versatility of the TS300P-1800 printer.  

“These new spot colours can add real value to fashion and sportswear,” says Stephen Woodall, National Sales manager for textile and apparel at Mimaki’s UK and Irish distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd.

“The new light black improves the already high print quality, enhancing photographic images and gradations even further. Alongside the fluorescent pink and yellow inks, users now really have the capability to create highly unique garments.”

Woodall concludes; “The fluorescent samples we have produced on the Mimaki TS300P-1800 are spectacular, so we anticipate that combining this with the new light black will deliver even more eye-catching output. We look forward to demonstrating this to visitors to FESPA Digital in March.”

The business has also unveiled the super-wide format TS500P-3200 inkjet printer, a dedicated transfer paper printer for the textile industry, with applications including home furnishing textiles and indoor soft signage.

"At FESPA Digital, we will be showing our broad portfolio of printing and cutting systems," says Mike Horsten, General Manager Marketing EMEA at Mimaki Europe.

"And you can also expect to see some surprises in the form of new product announcements. Visitors will see real-world examples of the innovative applications Mimaki systems can create in both signs & display graphics, as well as digital textile printing and garment decoration."

"In line with the superheroes theme of the show, be sure to look for the superheroes portrayed in our samples, which visitors will be able to take away with them."

"We are again sponsoring the Wrap Masters competition, and we will be wrapping a vintage Audi at our stand as part of the final competition! We also invite visitors to relax in our Coffee Corner with refreshments and good conversation. FESPA Digital is always an exciting show, and we expect it to be so again this year."
