Mimaki, which is a manufacturer of cutting machines and wide-format inkjet printers for many sectors, especially for textile, added its latest product TX500-1800D to its product range. Mimaki's new Model TX500-1800B was designed to meet the printing needs of different fabrics including elastic (lycra) fabrics. Mimaki announced that it completed its TS500-1800 and TX500-1800DS series with this new machine.
Printing 60 square meters per second with the possibility of printing up to 8 colours and 600x450 dpi resolutions, Mimaki TX500-1800B saves time for the enterprises looking for a fast solution in limited production. With this new model, it is possible to print cotton, silk and rayon with a choice of acid and pigment dye, sublimation dye (SB300), reactive dye (RC300). Thanks to its automatic function, TX500-1800B, provides the possibility to clean and dry out the conveyor belt during the printing to prevent staining and wetting of the fabric.
Mimaki Europe Marketing General Manager Mike Horsten said that they give particular importance for the cost and quality demands received from customers when they produce the printing machines. Horsten continued his speech as follows: "We believe that the TX500-1800B will speed up the gradually growing transition to digital printing in the worlds of textile and apparel. Fashion designers and others in the industry will be able to produce vibrant small lot products on unique materials that were not readily available for digital printing in the past. This situation includes cotton, silk, hemp and rayon. We consume less water and dye and we show our sensitivity and commitment to the environment with this new machine.’’.
