Eye-catching fluorescent inks enhance appeal of new Mimaki TS30-1300
M
imakiʼs TS30-1300 1.3m dye sublimation printer is now available for viewings and demonstrations in Hybrid Servicesʼ Cheshire showroom. Hybridʼs textile product manager, Brett Platt, said: “The entry level TS30-1300ʼs arrival offers true wide format production dye sublimation at a new and much lower price point. It provides everything weʼve come to expect from Mimakiʼs high print and build quality for a new audience.”
Of particular interest is its configuration with yellow and pink fluorescent inks, as Mr Platt continued: “We now have the option of fluorescent inks for the TS30-1300, and the demo unit at our showroom in Cheshire has been commissioned with neon pink and yellow to demonstrate the eye-catching opportunities fluoro inks afford. The extraordinary shades achievable using these inks makes them ideal for the production of dancewear and event branding and weʼre keen to show this off to potential purchasers.” Value and vibrancy can be added to bespoke, quality products by using neon inks and offer the additional safety feature of enhancing visibility to sports garments. Mimakiʼs yellow and

Massive growth sparks investment in new technology for Inkthreadable
O wing to high
growth during the last 12 months
Blackburn-based Inkthreadable has purchased a Kornit Storm Hexa from Amaya Sales UK and taken the decision to move into premises four times larger than previously occupied.
The Storm Hexa was installed in August and will be used alongside 10 Polyprint Texjet printers currently in use.

As well as this, to meet the high demand for drop shipping custom printed clothing and accessories, Inkthreadable is also investing in new bespoke web-to-print order management and integration software. Since April 2016, Inkthreadable has integrated with two major worldwide e-commerce platforms, Shopify and WooCommerce, and integrations for more e-commerce platforms are already in development. Alex Cunliffe, managing director of Inkthreadable, said: “The past 12 months has been both intense and exciting for Inkthreadable. We didnʼt expect the growth weʼve seen, or the volume of orders that came with it, but our team has risen to the challenge and weʼre now ready to push forward with new technologies to offer services above and beyond what our customers expect.
“Our new premises are huge, with plenty of room to expand, but the new hardware and software weʼre bringing on board is what really excites me. The bespoke order management system will completely overhaul the way we handle order processing, allow greater transparency of orders statuses for customers, and new e-commerce platform integrations will give current and future customers flexibility in the way they use our services.”
