Accommodates rolls up to 600 lbs. for production transfer sublimation printing
Mimaki USA, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutters, today announced the MJF500-1800 industrial media handling system as an option for new and installed Mimaki TS500-1800 high-speed transfer sublimation printers. The new bulk roll media handling system adds versatility and expands the capabilities for high-speed dye sublimation printing.
The industrial design of the new MJF500-1800 system can handle paper rolls up to 600 lbs. with an external diameter of 20 inches giving digital textile producers the ability to take full advantage of the high throughput capabilities of the Mimaki TS500-1800 printer. Using the new bulk roll media handling system, Mimaki customers can become more productive by minimizing material change interruptions while also increasing profitability by printing long production runs on cost-effective transfer paper for sublimation to a wide range of textiles.

About the Mimaki TS500-1800 printer
The Mimaki TS500-1800 printer can print at speeds of up to 1615 square foot per hour on sublimation paper up to 75 inches wide. Designed for the textile market, it features the Mimaki Degassing Module (MDM-20), a unique degassing system that improves dot placement accuracy. In addition, the MDM-20 module enables the printer to use undegassed inks in 2-liter bottles, reducing costs over conventional degassed ink packs. It is particularly suited for sportswear and soft signage production, both applications that are seeing growth in run lengths appropriate for digital printing.
