A best-in-class print speed: 800 m2/h
New head for high speed printing
The MM700-1800B employs 16 printheads arranged in four staggered lines to achieve a best-in-class print speeds of 800 m2/h (*1) and 560 m2/h (*2) in draft and standard modes, respectively.
*1: 800 m2/h: 8-color, Draft mode, 300 × 300 dpi, 2-pass
*2: 560 m2/h: 8-color, Standard mode, 600 × 600 dpi, 2-pass
Speed and beauty, achievable printing technology
Belt meandering and belt feeding amount correction functions
Meandering sensor allows straight and accurate textile transportation even during high-speed printing. In addition, high degree accuracy control of the textile feeding, 2-pass, high-quality print without banding is possible.
Overlap processing
Banding is reduced through repeatedly gradation color of the edge of the pass. Beautiful and high image quality is possible in high-speed printing mode.
Stable and Reliable Operation
Excellent, reliable textile transportation mechanism
Direct-to-textile print requires high accuracy and a reliable textile transportation system.
Wrinkles or drapes occasionally occur on textile when conventional textile transportation systems are used. The MM700-1800B is equipped with a drive roller bar that pastes and flattens the textile onto an adhesive transportation belt without wrinkling or draping by moving synchronously with the belt drive.
The wrinkle sensor prevents printer problems
The wrinkle sensor detects the wrinkles or drapes occurring in the textile and immediately stops printing to avoid printhead strikes.
The jam sensor reduces damage to printheads
A highly sensitive sensor attached to the printhead detects even a slightly wrinkled or draped textile surface and prevents a printhead strike or a media jam, thereby reducing printhead damage.
Worry-free operation
20-liter ink packs extend the continuous print operation time
20-liter large-capacity ink packs. The large ink packs ensure longer unattended operation and extended large-lot printing.
Temperature adjustment system increases the head performance
Two-stage temperature control system:
a standard for ink distribution tank and head internal heater.
Maintaining the optional ink viscosity and a stable ink discharge amount in high-speed printing achieves head performance.
Wide touch panel display
21.5-inch-wide touch panel display provides simple and easy-to-read printer operation status.
Four ink types are available to accommodate a wide range of materials
Four ink types* are provided to suit a wide range of applications. The large-capacity 20-liter ink packs support high-speed printing.
| Type | Color | Characteristic features | Applications | Compatible materials | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reactive | C, M, Y, K, Or, Bl, Lm, Lk | Molecules of dyes and fibers are stabilized by covalent binding and deliver high color fastness to water, rubbing and light. This ink reproduces accurate colors vibrantly. | Apparel, Home furnishing | Cotton, hemp, silk, rayon and other materials | |
| Sublimation | TBD | Dedicated ink for direct sublimation printing. Transfer paper is not required. | Soft signage | Polyester | Available in the future |
| Pigment | TBD | Only a heating process is needed for color fixation. Post processes are remarkably simplified because steaming, washing and drying are not required. | Home furnishing | Cotton, hemp and other materials | Available in the future |
| Acid | TBD | Excellent vibrant color reproducibility on animal fibers, and on synthetic protein fibers like nylon. | Apparel, Home furnishing | Wool, leather, silk, nylon and other materials | Available in the future |
* One ink type can be selected at the time of purchase to be loaded to the printer; please note that the ink type cannot be changed once it is loaded.
Mimaki genuine unit
Feeding unit
This unit applies the appropriate tension to the textile to ensure stable textile feeding while using an air brake and a dancer bar.
Additional drying heater
To prevent an ink set-off while taking up the textile, the additional heater shortens the ink drying time even at high speed printing with high ink density.
Drier / Winder unit
Winder Equipment
A stable winding movement enables the taking up of the textile at high speeds without skewing.
The standard drying heater
The heater accelerates ink drying on the textile after printing.*
* Note that the heater may not completely dry the ink if a large amount of ink is applied.
Camera calibration
The camera monitors the distance of the textile feed advancement.
The amount of textile feeding is optimized, which therefore improves the accuracy of the dot placement.
Software
High-performance software RIP "TxLink4 Professional" is bundled.
