Mimaki releases Tx400-1800B textile inkjet printer

Mimaki Engineering Co Ltd has announced its new direct-to-textile and dye-sublimation inkjet printer TX400-1800B that features a newly developed Adhesive Belt Carrier System. The new model, which stabilises flexible materials that tend to stretch and contract during printing, is an additional version in the series following on from Tx400-1800D. In the past, large-format textile printing implied long print runs and mostly rotary screen-printing machines. Now, increasingly on-demand short run production is required that can be better accommodated by inkjet technology.
