The new Tiger-1800B industrial textile printer will make its debut at Heimtextil next year
Following its acquisition of La Meccanica, Mimaki will be bringing its new Tiger-1800B direct-to-textile printer to Heimtextil 2017.
‘We are very excited to be bringing a brand new printer to the show, on display for the first time at a global exhibition,’ said Mike Horsten, general manager marketing of Mimaki EMEA, which completed a deal to acquire Italian textile printing equipment firm La Meccanica [LINK]. ‘We believe attendees will be quite impressed with the capabilities of this industrial-strength digital textile printer.’
The Tiger-1800B uses reactive inks and has a maximum print speed of 385 sqm/hr, 600 dpi print resolution and a maximum print width of 1.850 m. Optional units can be added to expand the printer’s capabilities, including feeding units for jumbo rolls or folded fabrics, heating units and a folding arm unit for storing fabric in the box after printing.
Mimaki will also be participating in the Digital Textile Micro Factory and showing its Tx300P-1800, Tx500P-3200 and TS300P-1800 printers. Visitors to the show will be able to hear Mr Horsten speak about how digital printing is bringing significant change to the textile market.
Heimtextil 2017 takes place 10-17 January at Messe Frankfurt.
