Mimaki expands dye-sub portfolio with new TS330-1600 printer

Mimaki has added a new TS330-1600 sublimation transfer inkjet printer to its ‘330 Series’ platform. Enabling both volume production and high-image quality printing for the textile and dye-sublimation industry, and equipped with new functions to improve stable operation, the newly launched Mimaki TS330-1600 can achieve a print speed of 69sq m/h in high speed mode, with its fastest mode reaching up to 135sq m/h.

An improved take-up system featuring dual motors distributes the load and increases the power, enabling stable winding of printed paper even for long runs, and new heaters enhance the paper transport through the device. TxLink4 in the printer is dedicated textile RIP software, along with a standard MBIS bulk ink system, the TS330-1600 has optional add-ons to further increase efficiency. These include a larger 10kg ink tank supply unit which reduces ink costs compared to the standard 2L ink pack and allows for longer continuous printing, as well as a mini jumbo roll unit to load large quantities of transfer paper and further reduce running costs.
