Mimaki Launches Faster TxF300-75 Printer To Expand Opportunities In Reliable, Quality Direct-To-Film Printing
AMSTERDAM — August 22, 2023 — Mimaki Europe — a provider of industrial inkjet printers, cutting plotters, and 3D printers — has today introduced a new direct-to-film (DTF) printer, the TxF300-75. The new system incorporates the already well-received stability and functionality of Mimaki’s first DTF printer, the TxF150-75, while delivering new levels of productivity with print speeds that are three times higher.
Mimaki’s aim when entering the DTF market earlier this year was to offer customers a stable, efficient DTF platform that incorporates Mimaki’s renowned quality standards. The demand for this system exceeded expectations, so Mimaki increased its capacity to meet the high demand.
The TxF300 75 meets the same goals as the original model and is able to meet a wide range of printing needs, including those from large companies that require high-quality outputs at high productivity.
“We believe in giving customers choice and anticipating their needs, which is why we are expanding our DTF printer line-up hot on the heels of the inaugural system. The TxF300-75″ has been designed to provide even greater productivity. The 80cm width that was introduced in our first DTF system is still a feature on this new system. Customers can print more efficiently. It also retains the Mimaki technologies that overcome the common ink ejection and ink sedimentation issues of the other DTF printers in the market,” explained Arjen Evertse, general sales manager, Mimaki Europe.
The reliability of the Mimaki’s DTF printer series is owing to the built-in ink circulation system to prevent white ink clogging and a degassed ink pack, lowering the risk of poor ink ejection. The new printer also includes core Mimaki features, including NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) and NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) for stable, uninterrupted print production. DTF also allows customers to use a wide range of fabrics such as polyester, cotton, mixed fabrics, and dark colored fabrics.
In line with Mimaki’s sustainability goals, the TxF300-75 utilises Mimaki’s PHT50 pigment inks which are ECO-PASSPORT certified — validating their lower environmental impact and meeting the requirements for OEKO-TEX certification.
Adkins, a manufacturer of heat transfer technology, also announced a partnership with Mimaki at FESPA. Adkins has developed the Inline 800 DTF Powder Shaker Cure Unit, a finishing solution that matches Mimaki’s DTF systems in both size and quality. This unit is compatible with both the TxF300 and TxF300 75, so customers can benefit from a complete Mimaki DTF solution if they select either model.
Evertse concluded: “Our customers’ profitability and business success are always at the forefront when Mimaki develops new technologies. Installing our printers is a total solution. We look at ways to make print production as seamless as possible. As such, our collaboration with Adkins as a finishing partner in this space will continue as we develop our portfolio of DTF printers and further strengthen our position in this sector.”
In Q4 2023, the new TxF300 is expected to be available commercially in EMEA.
