De Mimaki TS330-1600 high-speed sublimatieprinter levert uitzonderlijke printsnelheden en consistente kwaliteit voor textieltoepassingen zoals sportkleding, mode, vlaggen en interieurdecoratie. Deze printer combineert efficiëntie, nauwkeurigheid en levendige kleuren voor professionele sublimatieproductie op elk niveau.
The Mimaki TS330‑1600 is a high‑performance, industrial dye‑sublimation transfer printer (1.6 m / 63.4″ width), designed for textile, apparel, soft signage and décor applications. It combines speed, high image quality (even in low pass modes), and features that reduce downtime and running costs.
For businesses in textile, apparel, soft signage, décor and promotional printing, the TS330‑1600 delivers on the promise of speed, flexibility, and lower cost per print. With its very high maximum print speed (≈ 135 m²/h) and strong performance even in draft modes (≈ 69 m²/h with good image quality), it lets you complete large runs faster, reduce turnaround times, and increase throughput.
The inclusion of fluorescent inks allows for more vibrant, attention‑grabbing prints — useful in sportswear, high‑visibility signage, fashion accents and promotional items. The ability to scale up via bulk ink supply and jumbo rolls helps reduce waste and running costs. Operational features like remote monitoring and reliability enhancements reduce downtime. All this adds up to better margins and more options.
This printer is particularly well suited for:
Industries that will find these particularly valuable include textile manufacturing, fashion houses, décor & interior design firms, signage & display businesses, and promotional goods manufacturers.
Here are what sets the TS330‑1600 apart:
| Unique Feature | What It Means in Practice |
| ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MWDT (Weaving Dot Technology) | Smoother solids, less banding, better image uniformity especially with low pass settings. Improves print quality with fewer artefacts.|
| Fluorescent Color Capability | Enables eye‑catching applications. Adds design flexibility and competitive edge in markets that want standout colours. |
| Scalable Ink / Media Handling | Bulk 10 kg ink tanks + jumbo roll reduces interruptions, lowers cost per square metre, improves efficiency. |
| Labour & Downtime Reduction Features | Dual take‑up motors, V‑shape cut, cloth wiper, remote access all contribute to lower operator intervention and less wasted media. |
| Versatile DPI & Print Modes | Ability to choose between speed and quality depending on job (e.g., high quality for fashion or décor, fastest mode for large soft signage).|
The TS330‑1600 supports a maximum media thickness of up to 1 mm and roll weights up to ~45 kg, making it suitable for heavy transfer papers and many types of fabric transfer media. The wide format (1,610 mm printable width) accommodates large continuous rolls. However, it is a sublimation transfer printer, which means it prints onto transfer paper (or sublimation paper) first, which is then heat pressed onto polyester or other compatible fabrics. The fabric properties (polyester content, stretch, surface finish) will affect final output quality and durability. It’s less suited for direct printing onto non‑textile or much thicker rigid substrates (unless using accompanying transfer/press processes).
The TS330‑1600 supports fluorescent yellow and fluorescent pink (via Sb410) in addition to standard and light colours. These fluorescent inks allow designs to “pop” under visible light and are especially useful for fashion, performance wear, or signage requiring striking visuals. In terms of trade‑offs: fluorescent inks tend to cost more per litre, may need careful colour profiling to match expectations, and can behave differently in terms of fading (especially under strong UV exposure or washing) compared to standard colours. When using fluorescent inks, print speed might be slightly impacted depending on the number of passes or resolution required. Proper curing, transfer/post‑processing and fabric selection are key to maximizing durability.
Running costs depend heavily on your print mode (high quality vs draft), ink coverage, media cost, electricity tariffs, and labour. Some features of the TS330‑1600 help reduce costs: the 10 kg bulk ink tanks lower cost per litre compared to smaller packs; the mini jumbo roll option reduces media waste and downtime; features like dual take‑up motors and media edge guides prevent misalignment and wasted media. Also, using Mimaki’s own ink (Sb411 / Sb410) ensures optimal performance and minimal wastage from incompatible fluids. Power consumption under standard operation is about 800 W, and peaks up to ~1,440 W, which should be accounted for in electricity planning. Regular maintenance (cleaning, correct environmental conditions) helps avoid printhead issues that can be costly.
Mimaki has included enhanced maintenance features: cloth wiper (to reduce ink splatter at the head station), improved cleaning mechanisms, larger maintenance spaces, LED lighting, remote access to check machine status (Mimaki Remote Access). The printer also includes nozzle check units and nozzle recovery systems to detect and correct nozzle issues. For support, Mimaki has service networks and usually provides documentation, parts, and consumables. For a user, ensuring operator training, regular cleaning schedules, and adherence to environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) will make operations smoother and reduce downtime.
The printer supports multiple resolutions (300, 600, 900, 1,200 dpi) and multiple pass modes. Faster modes (e.g. two‑pass or even single pass in some configurations) yield high throughputs (up to ~135 m²/h), but quality in terms of sharpness, gradation, and density may be lower. High quality modes (more passes, higher dpi) give better detail, smoother blends, richer solids, but at slower speeds. Users often balance: use high speed modes for proofing or less overt quality‑sensitive jobs (e.g. banners) and quality modes for apparel, interior goods or where detail matters.
(If applicable – adapt per Dimix’s actual services.) Dimix supplies genuine Mimaki inks (Sb411 / Sb410), parts, maintenance kits, and media options. We also offer operator training, installation support, and local service agreements to ensure uptime. We can assist with setting up colour profiles, calibrations, and ensuring that the environmental conditions at your site match manufacturer recommendations. Having these locally reduces lead times and repair downtime.
The TS330‑1600 requires a single‑phase AC power supply (100‑120 V or 200‑240 V depending on region) with capability to handle peaks up to ~1,440 W. Ambient temperature should be in the range 20‑30 °C, humidity between 35‑65% RH (non‑condensing). The machine’s footprint is approximately 3,170 × 820 × 1,305 mm, weight around 240 kg, so sufficient flooring strength, roller or unloading space, and ventilation is necessary. Also, provisions for media roll storage, and handling of large transfer paper rolls (mini jumbo roll, etc.) should be planned.
The TS330‑1600 improves on earlier models in several ways: increases in maximum speed (especially in draft modes), improvements in media handling (dual take‑up motors, better conveyance), enhanced image quality via MWDT, and expanded colour options (fluorescent). The draft speed alone is ~38 % faster than Mimaki’s previous comparable models in certain modes. These improvements translate to higher throughput and lower total cost of ownership for businesses that run large volumes.
The printer comes with RasterLink7 RIP software, which handles many standard needs. For more advanced textile workflows, TxLink4 is available, especially needed when using fluorescent colours, complex colour management, or dealing with variable data. To ensure accurate colour reproduction, you’ll want to use calibrated transfer papers, ensure consistent environmental conditions, periodically calibrate when inks or media change, and possibly create custom ICC profiles (or use manufacturer‑provided ones as starting points). Sample tests and proofing are highly recommended before large runs.
The inks (Sb411 / Sb410) used are water‑based dye sublimation, and Mimaki holds certifications (e.g. OEKO‑TEX® ECO PASSPORT) for these inks, indicating safety regarding chemical substances for textile products intended for skin contact. That said, sublimation printing is best suited to polyester or polyester‑blended fabrics (or treated surfaces for hard substrates), so selection of compatible material, proper curing/transfer process, and environmental controls (ventilation, ink waste handling) are important for overall sustainability.
