Features
The features and methods of operation are explained in this manual for you to understand
how to use the printer properly.
Setting for 2-way multi printing
Alternatively, using two sets of three heads in 2-way printing mode, each with different inks,
gives you the functionality of two 8-color printers in a single unit.
3 types of textile printing ink can be used
MIMAKI genuine ink is shown below.
Acid dye ink : Suitable for wool, silk, and other animal fibers and nylon.
Disperse dye ink : Suitable for polyester, acrylic, etc.
Reactive dye ink : Suitable for wool, silk in addition to cotton, rayon, etc.
• When using any type of ink, be sure to perform the pre-processing and post-
processing recommended by MIMAKI for the fabric used.
Applicability of fabrics up to 7mm in thickness
Even thick fabric can be used.
The printer accepts fabric whose thickness is in the range of 0.1mm to 7.0mm.
Applicable to wide fabrics
Fabrics with up to 1650mm width can be set and printing for up to 1620mm width is possible.
Indication of the amount of remaining ink
The IC chip mounted on the ink cartridge allows monitoring of the amount of remaining ink
even after it is removed and remounted.
This avoids INK END during unattended operation, allowing efficient use of ink and fabric.
Easy-to-see display
The LCD panel displays the printer setting menu in two lines making it is easy to see.
Since the LCD panel is provided with a backlight, the display can be clearly seen even in a
dark place.
The LCD panel is capable of displaying six different languages, including English and Spanish.
Display of information for confirmation
It is possible to have the printing length displayed on the LCD panel and the printing condi-
tions to be plotted for confirmation during operation of the printer.
High-speed interface
The "IEEE 1394" interface allows for high-speed data reception from the computer.
