Presenting the latest textile solutions with expansion of Mimaki line-up
Mimaki has a long and illustrious history in textile printing, introducing its first wide format, direct to textile printer in the late 1990s. Its line-up has steadily grown in the subsequent years, resulting in a current range that offers something for everyone, as Brett Newman, chief operations manager at Mimaki’s UK and Irish distributor, Hybrid Services, outlines.

incredible new Tiger-1800B MkII industrial textile printer, Mimaki has developed a textile-specific model to suit almost every need,” states Brett. “2019 saw ITMAʼs four-year cycle come around again and Mimaki used the exhibition in Barcelona to present new technology, that adds further options for our textile customers to increase their productivity, target new markets and benefit from our latest solutions.”
With numerous direct to textile and dye sublimation models in its product range, Mimaki has
solutions suited to both natural and man-made fabrics and the introduction of a range of fabric preparation and finishing kit means customers can benefit from a total solution for textile print production. At ITMA, Mimaki showed the TR300-1850C coating machine alongside its TR300-1850S steaming machine. Providing the equipment needed to operate the entire digital textile workflow, Mimakiʼs all in one solution ensures complete technology compatibility, as well as increased productivity, print quality and reduced production costs.
Award winning “We were delighted to receive not one, but two EDP awards for our textile solutions at FESPA this year,” Brett recalls. “While the impressive new Tiger MkII and our finishing solutions were recognised with awards, we also enjoyed a significant amount of interest in the new TS55-1800 sublimation printer thatʼs very relevant to the printwear and sports/ apparel sectors in the UK and Ireland.”
