Mimaki USA has introduced Sb410 fluorescent pink and yellow, and light black dye sublimation inks in the US market and is for use in the TS300P production dye sublimation printer.

“Fluorescent inks produce bright colours beyond the range reproducible by process colour printing, while light black ink creates smooth gradations,” the company said in a press release.

These Mimaki inks are available in 2 litre ink packs and are optimised for use in the Mimaki Bulk Ink System 3 (MBIS3), standard on the TS300P printer, for longer, unattended printing and lower ink costs.

According to Mimaki, sublimation inkjet systems, such as the TS300P printer, are increasingly being employed in apparel production lines.

“Eye-catching neon colours and nuanced colour printing are becoming more in-demand for the sports and fashion apparel markets,” it added.

“Fluorescent inks are popular for sports outfits, fashion apparel and eye-catching soft signage,” the digital printer manufacturer informed.

They are utilised in the RIP through either an extended multi-colour gamut 1 or as spot colour additions to a standard process workflow.

The fluorescent inks reach beyond the traditional colour range of magenta and yellow inks enabling the reproduction of intensely vivid colours.

While, the light black ink creates a smooth gradation and reproduces the nuanced tones of monochromatic photographs.

“Light black ink reduces the granular appearance, colour shifting, and tone jumps that occur on monochrome/grayscale prints,” Mimaki stated.

Mimaki manufactures a complete line of digital printers and cutters, and offers a total workflow solution for the many applications found in the sign & graphics, textile & apparel and industrial markets. (AR)
