MIMAKI successfully hosts webinar on hybrid textile solution product

MIMAKI organised a webinar on June 9 that focused on the recently released TX300P-1800 MkII hybrid textile solution. Hosted by the senior product manager Bert Benckhuysen, MIMKAI Europe, the webinar highlighted the key features of the printer, which include a 2 litre ink system, dual ink combinations, exchangeable platen system and industrial printheads for stable production. The ability of the Mimaki Tx300P-1800 MkII to switch between direct-to-textile and transfer printing is enabled by its interchangeable platens. When printing direct-to-textile, excess ink penetrated through the fabric is drained by a platen with an ink-receiving channel. When printing on heat transfer paper however, this platen can be quickly and easily exchanged for a vacuum platen needed for paper printing – without the need for service engineers.

All textile applications are possible with the versatile ink of TX300P-1800, which include: reactive inks for cottons (fashion/apparel), acid ink (for swimwear and fashion), disperse ink (industrial clothing, banners and automotive car seats), pigment (home decoration and wallpaper), direct sublimation ink (for flags and banners) and sublimation transfer ink. The hybrid printer is also able to facilitate either a traditional one-way ink set, configured with any one of five ink types, as well as various combinations of inks, providing unparalleled flexibility.
