| 1. |
Achieves print speed of 150m²/h on sublimation paper while in high-speed mode. |
|
The newly developed printheads (Six printheads with three staggered) achieve maximum speed. |
|
| 2. |
Mimaki Degassing Module: MDM-20 |
|
Mimaki degassing module “MDM-20” eliminates the gasses or bubbles inside the ink. This means nozzle blockage is lessened and the accuracy of ink dot placement is improved. In addition, this module enables the printer to use undegassed bottled inks instead of conventional degassed ink packs, thereby reducing ink costs. |
|
| 3. |
Setting Roll-up media up to 60kg |
|
Roll-up media of up to 60kg and 300mm in diameter can be used. There is no need to frequently change the media, meaning large orders can be handled smoothly and without interruption due to continuous printing. |
|
| 4. |
Mist removal filter |
|
The mist removal filter prevents troubles caused by ink mists and enhances the stability of print operations by suctioning the mist inside the printer and discharging it. |
|
| 5. |
New sublimation ink “Sb300” |
|
The sublimation ink “Sb300” will be simultaneously released with “TS500-1800”. The “Sb300” ink offers a more affordable price than conventional ink. Furthermore, this ink produces brilliant color and dries fast. |
|
| 6. |
Auto Media Feeder (AMF) |
|
Mimaki’s unique “AMF”-system provides stable media feeding and take-up. Because of this, there is no need to constantly monitor the printer. |
|

Easy to follow icons enable users to operate “RasterLInk 6” intuitively and without difficulty. |
|
|
| 2. |
When an icon is clicked, the display screen is switched in the same window, therefore print and other conditions are easily set. |
|
|
| 3. |
Printing progress can be monitored on the main screen. |
|
