The TS55-1800
Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Irish distributor, Hybrid Services, has launched the Mimaki TS55-1800; a digital heat transfer sublimation printer designed to bring high-end features to entry and mid-level markets.
The TS55-1800 makes high-end digital textile printing features available to a much broader market. Now, textile professionals can invest in an affordable sublimation printer that meets the high quality and fast turnaround times demanded in the dynamic textile and apparel industry.
The new model prints at a resolution of 480 x 600dpi with a high ink density using one-pass printing at 140sqm/h. In addition, the Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS4) improves the quality of two-pass printing by eliminating banding. Another key feature is the optional use of a new Mini Jumbo Roll unit that can continuously feed 2500 linear metres of heat transfer paper to the printer, which can save customers over 20% in print media cost. In addition, the printer is fitted with Nozzle Check and Recovery System and 10 litre ink tanks, which ensure continuous operation for extended periods, such as unattended overnight printing.
Bert Benckhuysen, senior product manager, Mimaki, said, ‘The TS55-1800 has been designed from the ground up to deliver high quality, industry-leading productivity and an operational cost that will be hard to beat.
‘According to our projections, textile professionals can reduce their operational cost by using this new printer and double their annual profit. This is truly revolutionary, and we believe it will make a huge contribution to the ongoing analogue-to-digital transformation underway in the industry,’ added Mr Benckhuysen.
‘The new TS55-1800 is another outstanding textile printer from Mimaki,’ commented Hybrid’s chief operations manager, Brett Newman. ‘It presents substantial opportunities to UK and Irish textile companies for increasing productivity whilst reducing unit costs.’
