Mimaki launches ‘Rimslow Series’ processing equipment for digital textile printing

Mimaki has announced the launch of the ‘Rimslow Series, the company’s new pre and post- processing equipment for digital textile printing comprising a new pre-treatment unit, two steamers and one washer. The product is from the Australian company Rimslow Global Pty Ltd., which Mimaki acquired in November 2017. For textile printing by an inkjet printer, it involves four processes: 1. Pre-treatment: Preventing ink bleeding by applying a treatment agent to the fabric. 2. Printing: Printing with an inkjet printer. 3. Steaming: Fixing the printed ink onto the fabric. 4. Washing: Washing off extra ink and treatment agent from the fabric.

The current textile digital printing is requiring purchasing printers and pre- and post- processing devices from different manufacturers. By providing pre-treatment unit, printer, steamer and washer as the completed system from Mimaki, it is possible to offer a total solution including equipment, recommended production conditions and know-how and easier for customers to proceed a new entry into digital printing business and in-house production. The unification of all the required equipment into Mimaki products will minimize the down time of machines for saving both time and money.
