Mimaki Target Textile and UV at FESPA 2015

Mimaki will showcase its latest collection of textile production solutions including a selection of flatbed and roll-to-roll high speed printing solutions at FESPA 2015 which takes place in Cologne, Germany, from May 18th to 22nd.

“We see two key growth trends for digital production methodologies: textile production - not soft signage, but fashion and home textiles - and an increasing volume of UV printing with both flatbed and roll-to-roll high speed printers,” explains Mike Horsten, General Manager Marketing EMEA at Mimaki Europe. “UV printing is opening new markets with better quality and lower production costs and textile designers are discovering the benefits that digital textile design and printing offer. Technology is catching up with imagination, and it’s a very exciting time,” he continues. “FESPA is a major show on the Mimaki calendar; and our stand will be as big, bold and bright as ever, offering visitors ideas and tools that will allow them to stretch their creativity.”

Mimaki textile-focused solutions on display at the show include:

• Mimaki TS500-1800, ideal for furnishing fabrics as well as sportswear, T-shirts and apparel;
• Mimaki TX500-1800, for printing on cotton, polyester-based materials, and other fabrics;
• Mimaki JV300-130/160, a dye sub printer suitable for everything from garment marketing to fashion; and
• Specialized solutions for latex print for wallpaper with six-colour printing including orange and green.

Also on display will be the Mimaki JFX200-2513 LED UV flatbed printer that prints on a wide range of substrates from acrylics to metal, wood and stone; the Mimaki CJV150 and Mimaki CJV300 integrated printer/cutters for a wide range of applications from signage to banners, stickers and canvas prints; and the UJF-3042 / UJF6042 LED UV flatbed printers that offer unlimited production capabilities, particularly with its kebab option printing on cylindrical shapes.

Also, the newest member of the Mimaki product family will be running at full speed at the show: the CFL-605RT compact flatbed cutter. It offers both creasing and cutting and enables operations to create and deliver high quality, cost-effective designs - smoothly and quickly.

“As you can see,” Horsten adds, “our FESPA stand will have something for everyone, and we promise that visitors can let their imaginations run wild and we can likely keep right up with them. It’s a promising time to be in the industry, and we are enthusiastic to be able to share all of these capabilities with show attendees.”
