This includes the development of an all-round solution, embracing pre-treatment, printing and post-treatment of the digitally printed textiles. With this objective in mind, Mimaki Europe has entered into a joint venture with the leading Italian distributor Bompan S.r.l.. The latter has many years’ experience in the textiles industry and has been fostering a loyal business relationship with Mimaki Europe for more than twenty years. Mimaki Bompan Textile was established following the market launch of the Tiger-1800B textile printing system, which is available in models for direct to garment printing (DTG) and sublimation transfer printing. Boasting a maximum print speed of 385 m2/h, the Tiger-1800B is ideal for high-volume production environments, which until now have been dominated by analogue printing processes. As a consequence, these applications can now also benefit from the advantages of digital printing which include the more efficient and economical production of small lots, customer-specific textiles and samples.
