Digital workflow
  • Substantial time savings and production time reduction from design to market enables fast response to clients orders.
  • No restriction in numbers of colours smooth gradations and high quality printing.
  • Ecologically viable printing as only the requires ink quantity is used for production. No excess water usage.
High quality print - different drop sizes
  • Ink drop sizes can be selected according to the substrate and the intended design so that sharp and exact reproduction is made possible.
  • Due to ink drops having different appearances on different substrates, test before hand and chose the appropriate drop size for each substrate.

Continuous print - Ink supply
Bulk ink system

16 loading slots for 2L ink container each, therefore in 4 colour mode a maximum of 8L per colour is available.

UISS (Uniterrupted Ink Supply System)

Mimaki's UISS (Uniterrupted Ink Supply System) will automatically switch whenever one ink container is empty to the other ink container of the same colour. in addition, operators can exchange the ink containers even when the printer is at work. Therefore the UISS enables long continuous print runs.

Empty ink containers are automatically switched and ink supply starts from the 2nd container of the same colour

Continuous print - Media transport system
Tx400 - 1800D
Direct printing
Transfer sublimation printing

Web tension is ensured by movable delivery/retraction bars that absorb tension differences and stablize substrates so that high quality printing is made possible.

Setting the transfer spacer at the platen and displacing the free roller on the low position, the media will be sloped, reducing media wrinkles.

Belt carrier system enables conveying of stretch materials
Belt encoder revision function

Uneven conveying of textile substrates can be counteracted by employing the belt encoder revision function. As the connection part of the belt shows a difference in thickness of 0.1 - 0.2mm, without the belt encoder, this unevenness will usually impact long prints causing the issue to increase. In order to ensure high quality printing the belt encoder revision functionality should be used.
