  - The maximum print speed is 180 m2/h*1 for 4-color printing and 105 m2/h*2 for 6-color printing.
  *1 Print conditions: 180 m2/h, 4 color, Draft mode, 360 × 360(HQ) dpi, 2 pass
  *2 Print conditions: 105 m2/h, 6 color, Draft mode, 540 × 360 dpi, 4 pass
  
  
• New printhead and feeding mechanism ensure high speed and quality printing on 3.2-m wide media
  - 12 new-type printheads rapidly eject ink to ensure high speed, quality printing at high printhead gap settings.
  - AMF*3 is capable of feeding media up to 3.2 m wide and of 130 kg. Moreover, AMF can maintain stable feeding to achieve high-quality printing.
  - Cockling-reduction transfer mechanism*4 supports high-speed printing on a wide paper.
  *3 AMF: Front and rear tension bars apply the appropriate tensions to the media in order to maintain stable media transportation.
  *4 Cockling: Wrinkling of the media surface due to ink absorption. The printhead tends to make contact with the cockled paper surface when the head gap is narrow, resulting in undesirable contact damage to the printhead and inferior print quality.
  
  
• Uninterrupted printing solutions
  - Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) automatically detects and cleans clogged nozzles.
  - Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) uses only good nozzles as substitutes, when the clogged nozzles are not recovered after cleaning.
  - The large ink containers (3 liters) are installed in the external ink supply unit. The inks can be filled into the container during long-time continuous printing.
  
  
• High-performance RIP software TxLink3
  The TxLink3 offers simple RGB and CMYK color replacement on raster and vector data, as well as the ability to produce different color patterns. Moreover, various color replacement functions can represent desired colors.

Production Example of TS500P-3200

3.2-m superwide format sublimation inkjet printer

The maximum mountable paper width is 3,300 mm and printable width is 3,290 mm. Generally, home decor fabrics for curtains, bed linens, and carpets are coordinated using the same printed patterns. However, the colors cannot be different when all of the coordinated fabrics are printed by the same printer.

Production of the same pattern for harmonized room design.

Maximum print speed (180 m2/h) achieves high productivity on 3.2-m wide transfer paper

FIG.1: Staggered arrangement

To achieve high printing speeds, 12 printheads are arranged in a staggered 3-line array. A range of printing modes is offered to suit the finished print appearance from a high-speed (180 m2/h) draft mode to a high-quality mode.

New printhead and feeding mechanism ensure high-speed and quality printing on 3.2 wide media

Cockling is well known to reduce product yield and quality and frequently occurs on transfer papers during printing. With its cockling-reduction transfer mechanism and new printhead, the TS 500P-3200 can print on cockled papers with a high head gap setting while maintaining beautiful print quality. Previously, thin papers were used for low-cost printing and thicker papers for high-quality printing. Now, the TS500P-3200 can simultaneously provide cost reduction and high-quality printing on both thin to thick papers.

Highlights of the Mimaki TS500P-3200 Printer

Dedicated transfer paper printer

The TS500P was specifically engineered for the dye sublimation industry. Designed to print onto the thinnest of transfer paper, it includes a number of technologies that enable printing on thin transfer media, while maintaining extremely high quality output.

---

High gap printhead

Thin transfer papers – desirable because of more square footage per roll – are susceptible to cockling, creating media transport problems and potential head strikes. The TS500P printer employs a new printhead that ensures accurate ink droplet placement with a high head gap, enabling high quality printing on thin transfer paper.

Production print speeds

With 12 printheads, the TS500P printer delivers high productivity with print speeds of up to 1937 square feet (180 square meters) per hour in four-color mode. Print speeds of up to 1130 square feet (105 square meters) per hour can be achieved in six-color mode.

---

Media handling system

The Auto Media Feeder applies calibrated tension to the media, maintaining stable and precise media feed and take-up on rolls up to 286 lbs. (130 kg). This also reduces telescoping of the media during take-up and eliminates the potential for buckling or creasing during the calendar transfer process thereby accommodating long run, full roll transfers. Four independent post-print heaters reduces cockling for smoother transport to the take-up reel.

---

Workflow enhancements

The TS500P printer can be connected to a network via Ethernet (or USB 2.0) connection, for flexibility in setting up the workflow. Via the Remote Event Notification feature, it can relay status information such as start, finish or error messages to a mobile phone or computer.
