Hybrid Services: Mimaki TxF150-75 DTF Inkjet Printer The new Mimaki TxF150-75 DTF Inkjet Printer is ideal for creating customised merchandising, sportswear and various other promotional textile applications, says UK and Ireland distributor Hybrid Services. “Based on Mimaki’s 150 Series, the TxF150-75 responds to the market need for a reliable, stable DTF [direct-to-film] technology. “A built-in ink circulation system and degassed ink pack design helps prevent common DTF issues, and by utilising proprietary Core Technologies, which include a nozzle check unit and nozzle recovery system, the printing process is carried out efficiently with minimal user intervention.” In addition, Mimaki has created its own range of waterbased pigment inks, PHT50, especially for this solution, which are Oeko-Tex Eco Passport certified. The TxF150-75 DTF is also supplied with Mimaki’s RasterLink7 RIP software, adds Hybrid, “allowing users to have full oversight and the ability to streamline the process from the design to the final product”.
