Focus on Transfer Printing & Heat Presses Hybrid Services
Create an impact with fl uorescent inks Fluorescent inks occupy a useful creative niche in dye sublimation, particularly for garment decorators working in sportswear, fashion and promotional apparel. The popular Mimaki TS200-1600 dye sublimation printer can be confi gured with fl uorescent pink and yellow alongside blue, magenta, yellow, black, orange and violet, giving designers colours and effects that are diffi cult to achieve from a conventional four-colour ink set. The most obvious applications that benefi t from fl uorescent colours are sports shirts, running and cycling kits, teamwear, fashion pieces and promotional garments where visibility and visual impact are key. Fluorescents can be used as dominant colours but often have greater value as accents – picking out logos, graphics, patterns or details without overwhelming the design.

They also broaden the scope for bespoke and short-run work; a decorator can offer customers something materially different from standard sublimated apparel without introducing an additional production process. Combined with orange and violet, the eight-colour ink set also extends the available colour gamut, which is useful when more saturated colours or particular brand shades are required.
The 1.6m wide Mimaki TS200-1600 is a highly accessible route into wide-format sublimation with an expanded colour capability that would previously have required a signifi cantly larger investment.
