De Mimaki TS100-1600 sublimatieprinter is het ideale instapmodel voor textieltoepassingen zoals sportkleding, soft signage en interieurdecoratie. Deze printer combineert gebruiksgemak, levendige kleuren en betrouwbare prestaties voor bedrijven die starten met professionele sublimatieproductie.
The Mimaki TS100-1600 is an entry-level sublimation transfer printer offering excellent value for fashion, soft signage, interior fabrics, and promotional goods. It blends high print speed with full-colour sublimation ink and built-in quality features for reliable professional output.
The Mimaki TS100-1600 is built for businesses entering or expanding in the dye sublimation transfer printing market, where cost, speed, consistency, and color fidelity matter. It provides a compelling mix of performance and affordability, enabling companies to handle both small sample runs and larger batch work efficiently. Customers benefit from lower operating costs, reduced downtime, and versatile use across textiles and promotional items.
It uses two staggered on-demand piezo print heads, capable of delivering print resolutions of 360, 600, 720, and 900 dpi. This lets you balance speed vs. detail; faster modes for throughput and higher dpi for detailed, premium prints.
The printer uses Mimaki’s SB610 dye sublimation ink in four standard CMYK colours. Ink is supplied in large 1-litre bottles, helping reduce cost per square metre. The SB610 ink is certified (OEKO-TEX / ECO PASSPORT) for safety in textiles.
Supports media width up to 1,620 mm, roll diameter up to φ 250 mm, roll weight up to 45 kg, and media thickness up to 1 mm. These specs allow handling of wide rolls for soft signage, interior fabric, or large decor pieces.
Peak speed is approximately 70 m²/h in the fastest draft mode. But in higher quality modes, speed reduces accordingly. The machine includes several of Mimaki’s technologies—MAPS4 (to reduce banding), NCU (Nozzle Check), NRS (Nozzle Recovery), and the new DAS (Dot Adjustment System) which automates adjustments like bidirectional correction and media feed correction. This all aids in maintaining consistent output with less operator intervention.
Operational temperature: 20-30 °C; humidity: 35-65% (non-condensing). Power supply is single-phase AC 100-120V or 200-240V ±10%, 50/60Hz. Power consumption is up to ~1.44 kW in the lower voltage and ~1.92 kW in the higher. Physical footprint is ~2,775 mm × 700 mm × 1,475 mm; weight ~166 kg.
The TS100-1600 is designed for roll-to-roll sublimation transfer printing, which means you print onto transfer paper first, then transfer the image using heat to polyester fabrics or polyester blends. Media thickness up to ~1 mm is supported. For best results use high-quality transfer paper, control moisture & surface finish, and ensure the polyester content is sufficient for vibrant colour results. The transfer step (heat, pressure, time) is also critical.
The 70 m²/h figure is the top speed in draft or fastest mode, with lower resolution and lighter ink coverage. In higher quality modes (600-900 dpi), or with heavy colour coverage, speeds drop significantly—often to 20-40 m²/h or less depending on the size of job, RIP workflow, media handling overhead, etc. Always plan for “effective” or “average” throughput in your environment, not just peak.
The TS100-1600 includes several of Mimaki’s automated systems: NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) to monitor nozzle health, NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) to handle failed nozzles without halting production, DAS (Dot Adjustment System) for automatic alignment and feed correction, and MAPS4 for reducing banding. These help maintain consistency, though operators should also use quality inks, maintain proper temperature and humidity, clean regularly, and calibrate workflows.
You’ll need a footprint of approximately 2.78 m wide × 0.70 m deep × 1.48 m high; weight ~166 kg. The machine requires single-phase power (100-120V or 200-240V, depending on region), stable voltage, and adequate breaker capacity. The environment should be kept between 20-30 °C, humidity between 35-65% RH (non-condensing). Good ventilation helps in maintaining stable ink behaviour and operator safety.
Ink is SB610 in 1-litre bottles, which gives good value per square metre versus smaller bottles. But cost per run depends heavily on how much colour coverage is used, the resolution mode, transfer quality (loss during transfer), waste from test prints, etc. Also, using original ink and recommended media helps avoid issues that may increase cost (e.g. blotchy prints, rework).
As an “entry-level” model in the professional class, setup is more straightforward than high-end industrial machines—but there is still a learning curve: correct RIP settings, colour profiling, transfer parameters (temperature, pressure, time), media tension/handling, and maintenance practices. Manufacturers or distributors often include or offer training. Doing some test prints and developing standard settings helps.
Automated systems reduce many maintenance burdens (checking and cleaning nozzles, automatic adjustments). Regular maintenance tasks include cleaning (printheads, wipers), checks for nozzle performance, ensuring media rolls are loaded correctly, controlling environment. With good maintenance and original supplies, uptime tends to be high; but expect occasional downtime for maintenance, cleaning or adjustment, especially if switching media types.
Compared to premium or larger machines, the TS100-1600 may have fewer special colour options (no fluorescent, etc.), might have slower throughput when pushed for the highest quality, and some media types (very thick, unusual substrates) may not be supported. However, for many standard transfer-to-polyester work, soft signage, interior fabrics, etc., it offers very strong value: good quality, reliable automation, manageable running costs.
The standard RIP software included is RasterLink7. For more advanced textile workflows you can use TxLink4 (Lite or full) which supports more jobs, variable data, smoother gradations, etc. Be sure your computer hardware is sufficient (RAM, storage, CPU) to deal with large files, high resolutions and you may need colour profiling tools for accurate and repeatable colour.
The SB610 inks are certified under OEKO-TEX / ECO PASSPORT, which is crucial for textile applications especially where skin contact, clothing, kids’ products or interior décor are involved. The printer also complies with certifications like CE, RoHS, ENERGY STAR, FCC, VCCI etc. It’s important to ensure local regulations and safety requirements are met, especially for ventilation, waste ink handling, and electrical installations.
