Mimaki Launches DTF TxF300-75 Printer

Mimaki Europe has introduced a new direct-to-film (DTF) printer, the TxF300-75. The new system incorporates the already well-received stability and functionality of Mimaki’s first DTF printer, the TxF150-75 while delivering new levels of productivity with print speeds that are three times higher. 

Mimaki entered the DTF market earlier this year to offer customers a stable, efficient DTF platform that incorporates Mimaki’s quality standards. Demand for this system was higher than expected, and the company increased capacity.

“We believe in giving customers a choice and anticipating their needs, which is why we are expanding our DTF printer line-up hot on the heels of the inaugural system. The TxF300-75 has been designed to offer even greater productivity. The innovative 80cm width introduced with our first DTF printer remains a feature of this new system, enabling customers to print more efficiently. It also retains the Mimaki technologies that overcome the common ink ejection and ink sedimentation issues of the other DTF printers in the market,” explains Arjen Evertse, General Sales Manager, Mimaki Europe.

Mimaki’s DTF printer series has built-in ink circulation system to prevent white ink clogging and a degassed ink pack, lowering the risk of poor ink ejection. The new printer includes core Mimaki features, such as the NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) and NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) for stable, uninterrupted print production. The DTF process also enables customers to print on a broader range of fabric, such as cotton, mixed material, polyester, and dark-coloured fabrics.

In line with Mimaki’s sustainability goals, the TxF300-75 utilises Mimaki’s PHT50 pigment inks which are ECO-PASSPORT certified – validating their lower environmental impact and meeting the requirements for OEKO-TEX certification.

The Inline 800 DTF Powder Shaker Cure Unit, developed by heat transfer technology manufacturer Adkins is compatible with the new TxF300-75.

“Our customers’ profitability and business success are always at the forefront when Mimaki develops new technologies. We consider the total solution when it comes to installing our printers and look for ways to make the entire print production process as seamless as possible. As such, our collaboration with Adkins as a finishing partner in this space will continue as we develop our portfolio of DTF printers and further strengthen our position in this sector,” concludes Evertse.  

The new printer will be commercially available in the EMEA region in Q4 2023. Jason Hay, National Sales Manager for Mimaki Australia confirms that the printer is expected to arrive in Australia from mid-October. It will be distributed into New Zealand by Total Supply.
