Unique features
- High print qualitywith MAPS4, even with 1 pass printing at 385 sqm/h.Thanks to Mimaki’s most advanced anti-banding system, MAPS4, even with 1-pass printing, beautiful output can be achieved for most applications.
- Unparalleled build qualityensuring a stabile media feedLooking at the Tiger-1800B MKIII, the first thing to notice is the extreme cast-iron heavy construction which guarantees a vibration-free operation with the highest print quality.
- Stable printing on lightweight paper or fabricA sticky belt transport system stands for a stabile media feed, even for lightweight media, to avoid vertical banding.
- Ease of operationwith touchscreen on our new MPC (Mimaki Print Controller)With the introduction of our new MPC (Mimaki Print Controller) with touchscreen, preparing your jobs with the Tiger have never been so easy, even when printing from the queue.
Designed to produce a wide range
of materials and applications
Versatility in inks
thanks to high density sublimation and reactive dye inks
Mimaki’s MLSb510 and MLSb520 high-density sublimation ink dramatically improves print quality on polyester. The unique combination of ink and machine technologies achieves cost-effective and eco-conscious direct sublimation printing, and is also available on polyester fabrics with vivid and clear colours. Several black inks are offered to produce subtle differences in shades of black.
With Mimaki’s MLRc500 reactive dye ink, cotton, hemp, and silk are dyed beautifully. These dye inks produce vibrant colours, reproduce a wide colour gamut and have water resistance, light-fastness, and rub-fastness due to dyestuff molecule bonding with the fibres.
For even more confidence
our inks are OEKO-TEX certified
Mimaki inks MLSb510, MLSb520 and MLRc500 for the Tiger-1800B MkIII are ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® certified. ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® is a mechanism by which textile chemical suppliers demonstrate that their products are suitable to print skin-friendly clothing and other textiles for end users.
This certificate therefore constitutes an important decision-making element when purchasing inks for textile production.
