Mimaki Textile Printing Systems


Two processes engineered for more sustainable fabric printing.

Mimaki has unveiled two new processes for more sustainable textile printing. The Textile Pigment Transfer Printing System is engineered to minimize water usage, simplify workflow, and reduce environmental footprint. Comprised of Textile Pigment Ink, Transfer System, and Textile Pigment Transfer paper, the Textile Pigment Transfer Printing System uses a three-step transfer process to output onto a range of substrates, including natural fibers, for applications such as apparel and soft signage. The system leverages a TS330-1600 dye sub printer, newly designed Textile Pigment Ink, Texcol transfer paper, and entry-level calendar machine (an adaptation module for the printer will be available at a later date, the company reports).

Mimaki has also launched the Neo-Chromato Process for reusing colored polyester textiles. Designed to combat polyester waste incineration, the cyclical textile technology discolors dye sublimation inks to enable the reprinting or redyeing of polyester textile waste. The company reports there’s no limit to how many times reused polyester can be treated.
