Hybrid Services, the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for Mimaki, has announced that it will use its stand at The Sign Show – co-located with The Print Show – next week to host the global launch of the new Mimaki TS200-1600 dye sublimation printer.
Powered by the same core technology behind Mimaki’s 330 Series, the TS200-1600 has been designed to deliver fast production speeds across high-quality and versatile applications.
This, Mimaki says, makes it an ideal solution for smaller shops, start-ups, and any businesses looking to expand into customised goods and short-run textile production.
“The TS200-1600 represents the next step in our entry-level dye sublimation line,” says Arjen Evertse, director sales at Mimaki Europe, adding: “It brings professional-level quality and colour brilliance to customers entering the dye sublimation market, while offering a user-friendly, cost-efficient solution for short runs, proofing, and personalised applications.”
The machine has an extended eight-colour ink set, including orange and violet inks, as well as newly developed fluorescent pink and yellow inks for applications such as sportswear, custom promotional items, home décor and soft signage.
The TS200-1600 runs on Mimaki’s OEKO-TEX ECO-PASSPORT certified Sb411 inks, with this certification allowing users to meet core sustainability requirements.
“With eco-friendly inks and Mimaki’s core technologies, it also supports a more sustainable production process,” Evertse adds.
Andy Gregory, sales director at Hybrid, adds: “Launching the new Mimaki TS200-1600 at The Sign Show gives visitors the opportunity to see first-hand how dye sublimation could open new revenue streams for their business.
“As an entry-level solution, the TS200 makes it easier than ever for companies to take that next step and diversify their offering.”
