Brand New Mimaki TS500P-3200DS 129.9" Inch (Media) Super Wide Format Direct Sublimation Fabric Inkjet Printer

One-Stop Solution

"Tx500P-320DS" considerably reduces production time through the simultaneous processing of two operations, printing and color fixation, and can meet various needs from samples to large-lot production within quick delivery times.

The 3.2-m-wide direct sublimation Tx500P-3200DS inkjet printer is suitable for printing on wide fabrics used for creating soft signage or on home furnishing products, and its unique simultaneous printing and color fixation capability, expands business opportunities.

• Printing and color fixation combined in a single printer unit
  As the printer has a built-in color fixation device, Tx500P-3200DS enables printing and color fixation processes in a single printer unit. This feature considerably reduces production time and increases business opportunities.
  
  
• The maximum printing speed (130 m²/h) achieves high productivity
  The maximum printing speed is 130 m²/h*1 for 4-color printing and 105 m²/h*2 for 6-color printing.
  The high-speed printing accelerates on-demand print production.
  *1: 130 m²/h (4-color, high-speed mode, 540 × 360 dpi, Bi, Hi, 3 Pass)
  *2: 105 m²/h (6-color, draft mode, 540 × 360 dpi, Bi, Hi, 4 Pass)
  
  
• Mimaki’s superior print-image quality control technology achieves exceptional quality printing at high speeds on 3.2 m wide textile
  - To deliver high-quality printing, a new AMF(*3) ensures stable textile feeding/take-up. Additionally, a pulling roller provides stable textile transportation by maintaining an appropriate pressure during printing onto rolled textiles with width of up to 3.2 m and weight up to 130 kg.
  - Highly reliable inkjet technology optimizes the waveform to achieve precise placement of ink droplets onto media. The Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4 (MAPS4) reduces banding and uneven color printing. These features deliver exceptional quality printing at a high-speed.
  *3: The AMF applies an appropriate tension to the textile to ensure stable textile transportation.
  
  
• Uninterrupted printing solutions
  - Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) automatically detects and cleans clogged nozzles. Nozzle Recovery System (NRS) uses only unclogged nozzles as substitutes, when the clogged nozzles are not recovered after cleaning. These functions ensure constant printing performance and reduce printing waste owing to defective nozzles.
  - The external ink supply unit is equipped with large (3 L) ink containers. Ink can be filled into the containers during the long-time continuous printing of a 3.2-m-wide, 300-m-long rolled textile.

Color fixation built-in equipment expands business opportunities

Direct sublimation transfer printing requires the fixing of printed inks on polyester through heating. The Tx500P-3200D5 contains a heating devise ond the printer ond the heeler units are linked. The printer starts printing when the heater reaches the optimum temperature and thus printing and color fixing become an effective operation. This novel feature considerably reduces production time and expands business opportunities by accommodating demands from sample creation to large-lot print production. 

Stable textile transportation assures accurate printing 

AMF*' and VTTS *2 are installed in the feeding and take-up units to secure the stable textile feeding of the rolled media (width: 3.2 m, weight: 130 kg) and minimize textile shrinkage after heating. Furthermore, a pulling roller smooths polyester fabrics, which have the tendency to wrinkle. These features maintain an appropriate tension in the textile throughout the printing process to deliver beautiful print results.
