Graphix Supply World (GSW), the exclusive Mimaki distributor for Africa, reported numerous sales of the TxF150-75 during the FESPA Africa and Sign Africa Expo, which ran from 13-15 September at Gallagher Convention Centre.

Mimaki’s new TxF Series, including the TxF150-75 and TxF300-75 models, are Mimaki’s first DTF printers. Packed with Mimaki technology, they have been designed to overcome the common ink ejection and ink sedimentation issues of current DTF printers in the market.

Using genuine Mimaki heat transfer pigment ink, which acquired ECO PASSPORT certification, it assures skin friendly printing at the highest image quality. This unique combination ensures a highly reliable and stable DTF print workflow.

While both printers in the series offer the same superior Mimaki technology, the TxF300-75, with two staggered printheads, delivers new levels of productivity with speeds up to three times faster than the TxF150-75 (one printhead), helping to expand opportunities in the market.

Rob Franco, Managing Director at GSW said, ‘With more than ten units sold already, GSW recommends you urgently place your orders for this unique DTF system, as it is the only one in the world that works with minimal servicing, and the degassed inks prevent head blockages.’

Mimaki will display its flagship printers and cutters for the sign, graphic, industrial, and textile markets, including the recently announced TxF150-75 Direct-to-Film (DTF) machine, the high performing 330 Series and the entry-level 100 Series.

The company will make its return as a gold sponsor to the FESPA 2023 Global Print Expo (May 23–26 in Munich, Germany), joining FESPA and the wider printing industry to look at the sector with a ‘new perspective’ with its latest innovations, technologies and collaborative projects.

Mimaki’s first foray into DTF technology, the TxF150-75, will make its international show debut at FESPA. Providing an easy and affordable process for decorating apparel, most commonly T-shirts, the TxF150-75 responds to the market need for a reliable and stable DTF technology.

Equipped with Mimaki’s core technologies, it prevents common issues, such as poor ink ejection and white ink clogging, ensuring that processes are carried out efficiently with minimal intervention needed.

Other notable technologies on show include Mimaki’s flagship sign and display technology such as the entry-level 100 Series and the high performance 330 Series. The print and cut workflow will be demonstrated with Mimaki’s latest cutting plotter, the CG-AR series.

For industrial printers, visitors can see the Mimaki’s advanced UV flatbed printers, from the smaller size UJF-6042 MkII e to the large format JFX600-2513. For textile printers, the sublimation printers, the TS100-1600 and TS330-1600, will also feature.

Embracing FESPA’s theme of ‘New Perspectives’, Mimaki will use this global show to recontextualise the print industry through the lens of sustainability, reinstating the company’s commitment to it, as well as engaging and collaborating with creative eco-conscious minds from across the industry.

This year Mimaki will be showcasing the Dutch surrealist Rik Lina’s visually vibrant art inspired by the natural world. The artwork headlining the booth, titled ‘Fascinated Rainforest’, is based on Lina’s own travels in the rainforests of Saba, in which he seeks to capture the essence of nature and instil the same feeling of awe in the viewer that he had while there.

The staple customer gallery will also make a return and is set to include various inspiring applications created by Mimaki’s customers across multiple sectors, from sign graphics and industrial to textile and 3D.

‘The environment is a critical concern across all print sectors – including for us here at Mimaki. We are working towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on reducing wastage, water and to encourage and help printers to create sustainable applications, where possible,’ commented Danna Drion, General Manager Marketing. ‘We will return to FESPA to join hands with the industry to collaborate on and hopefully inspire some creative, show-stopping end-products. Like previous shows, visitors can also expect Mimaki to debut something new on our stand.’
