Following the success of its recent debut, Mimaki’s exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland, Hybrid Services, has announced the addition of the TxF150-75 direct-to-film (DTF) inkjet printer to its line-up at Sign & Digital UK 2023. The new model is specifically designed for those entering or expanding in the apparel decoration sector and is already proving a popular choice for those looking for a timesaving, stable, and productive solution.

Mimaki, a leading manufacturer of inkjet printers and cutting systems, announces its first ‘direct to film’ (DTF) inkjet printer, the TxF150-75, at its Global Innovation Days event. Utilising a heat-based transfer method, the printer is ideal for creating premium, customised merchandising, sportswear and various other promotional textile applications. This is the latest entry from Mimaki for the decorated apparel segment and will be making its EMEA at-show debut at Printwear & Promotion Live! in the UK (26th-28th February 2023).

STS Inks, a global leader in the wide format, industrial and household inkjet markets, announces the release of a 500mL DTF cartridge available in White. The new cartridge adds additional ink delivery flexibility to the STS Direct-to-Film printer series. Each 500mL cartridge provides a cost-effective, easy-to-install option for customers using the STS 628D, 628D-C and the new 724D DTF printers.

During the past few years, the textile decoration market has experienced some of the most innovative solutions available in digital imaging. Prism Inks has been at the forefront of these technologies with its sublimation ink, direct-to-garment ink, direct-to-fabric ink and now direct-to-film ink. Recently the fastest growing segment of garment decoration is the direct-to-film market and Prism Inks is now launching its U.S.A. developed next-gen DTF inks, film and powder.

Direct To Film (DTF) printing has been around for longer than you might think, although it’s only very recently that it’s started to gather more traction and pique the interest of garment producers both in the UK & Ireland as well as further afield.

Mutoh Europe - EMEA subsidiary of the Japanese wide-format & desktop digital printer manufacturer - and STS Europe today announced that they are joining forces for the new STS Modular Direct to Film system. Developed in partnership with Mutoh Japan, the centerpiece of the new system is a compact 24” (630 mm) wide printer built to fit onto a table-top or rolling stand in any size print shop. The STS DTF System is designed to be the most cost-effective and hassle-free solution to simplify the process of quickly creating custom t-shirts and apparel. In the EMEA business area, the STS DTF system will be offered by STS Europe through selected Mutoh distributors. The system will be presented at the STS booth (1F67) at the Fespa Amsterdam exhibition, to be held from 12-15 October.
