A new direct and transfer sublimation printer and a range of roll-to-roll print-and-cut solvent machines from Mimaki are to be unveiled by its UK distributor, Hybrid Services.
The new TS330-3200DS is a 3.2-metre-wide hybrid printer, capable of both direct sublimation printing on fabric and sublimation transfer printing on paper.
The CJV200 Series is Mimaki’s new range of entry-level solvent integrated printer/cutters, using the same print engine as the 330 Series high-production models.
These new technologies will be demonstrated for the first time in Europe on Hybrid’s stand at The Print Show from 17 to 19 September at the NEC in Birmingham. Also on display will be Mimaki’s latest direct-to-film (DTF) solution, the TxF300-1600.

Hybrid Services’ sales director, Andy Gregory, said: “These new products will be valuable additions to the Mimaki line-up and bring tangible benefits to our customers.”
Arjen Evertse, general manager sales at Mimaki Europe, added: “At Mimaki, we are committed to driving innovation that meets the evolving needs of our customers and also anticipates future trends in the printing industry.
“These four new printers were created to offer the industry new ways to expand and diversify print businesses with the confidence a high-quality, highly efficient Mimaki solution provides.
“The new TS330-3200DS and TxF300-1600 provide the flexibility, quality and productivity customers need to attract new business across the textile sector, enabling them to expand their application portfolios or seamlessly sidestep into new markets.
“Meeting various different challenges across the markets we serve, the CJV200 Series and the JFX200-1213 EX offer a stepping stone to businesses entering the sign graphic market, bolstering their production capabilities or looking to add new large format applications to their offering.
“We are confident that the availability of all four of these new technologies later this year will be highly anticipated by printers across the industry who are looking to take their businesses to the next level, whether that be in productivity, capacity or application range.”
The TS330-3200DS direct and transfer sublimation printer can be used to print interior fabrics such as curtains, carpets and bedding as well as large-format fabric signs. It allows seamless switching between direct fabric printing and sublimation transfer printing, which is easily achieved by attaching or removing a platen.
This printer is equipped with Mimaki’s latest 330 Series engine and is capable of printing up to 150 square metres per hour at a print resolution of 600dpi.

The CJV200 Series of entry-level solvent integrated printer/cutters is designed to be more accessible for printers of varying levels of experience to operate and maintain.
Features include an “ink saving function” that reduces ink consumption, a quicker print-head cleaning time and Mimaki’s Dot Adjustment System (DAS) which automatically completes bi-directional print and media feed adjustments, simplifying media changes and reducing operator errors.
The CJV200 Series uses Mimaki’s new SS22 solvent ink, which will be released alongside the printer. This safety-conscious ink does not contain increasingly regulated ingredients such as GBL. Building on the success of the SS21 ink, it has achieved the industry’s highest level of outdoor weather resistance and comes in an environmentally friendly paper cartridge.
