The new Mimaki TX300P-1800 can hit speeds of up to 68sq m/hr
Taking place in the Italian city of Milan from November 12th to 19th, the event will serve as a platform for the launch of the new Mimaki TX300P-1800 1.8m roll-to-roll direct-to-textile inkjet printer.
“The TX300P-1800 is designed to meet the market demand for smaller lot sizes, faster delivery times and the ability to quickly produce samples,” explains Mike Horsten, general manager marketing of Mimaki EMEA.
“We are also mindful of the shift in textile production from both analogue to digital and from centralised to distributed production.
“We envision a day not too far in the future when consumers will be able to download or create their own patterns rather than being limited to commercially available designs.

“The TX300P-1800, which is available with a variety of ink types and produces very high quality, is ideal for this new distributed model of textile printing.”
Available in the UK and Ireland from December 2015 through exclusive Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services, the device offers print resolution of up to 1,080dpi with drop sizes ranging from six to 24pl and is capable of printing at speeds of up to 68sq m/hr.
“We are looking forward to hearing what ITMA attendees have to say about the TX300P-1800,” Horsten adds.
“We think its quality, speed and affordability will generate ideas about many new opportunities in the eyes of visitors, and we look forward to working with them to change the way textile printing is accomplished in the future.”
