The new Mimaki TS200-1600 dye sublimation printer is aimed at small businesses looking to diversify into customised goods
Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Ireland distributor, Hybrid Services, has announced the launch of the new TS200-1600, the company’s latest sublimation transfer inkjet printer. The new printer will make its international debut at The Sign Show in Birmingham, UK, from September 23-25, 2025. Aimed at small shops, start-ups, and businesses looking to expand into customised goods and short-run textile production, the new TS200-1600 delivers fast production speeds, high-quality and versatile applications at an affordable price point.
Building on the success of Mimaki’s 200 platform and powered by the same core technology behind Mimaki’s 330 Series, the TS200-1600 ensures smoother gradients, vivid colours, and outstanding accuracy without compromising on speed. Its extended eight-colour ink set includes the addition of orange and violet inks for richer tones and improved colour gamut, as well as newly developed fluorescent pink and yellow inks for vibrant, eye-catching applications, such as sportswear, custom promotional items, home décor and soft signage.
The printer runs on Mimaki’s OEKO-TEX® ECO-PASSPORT certified Sb411 inks, ensuring high-density prints that are both durable and environmentally responsible. The certification allows print providers to meet sustainability requirements demanded by global textile brands.
To maximise uptime and reduce waste, the TS200-1600 incorporates 2L degassed ink packs that prevent air bubbles and ensure consistent print quality. The improved ink supply system also simplifies maintenance while maintaining reliable performance. Combined with Mimaki’s RasterLink7 RIP software and PICT, Mimaki’s cloud-based monitoring tool, users can streamline print management and production processes.
“The TS200-1600 represents the next step in our entry-level dye sublimation line,” comments Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe. “It brings professional-level quality and colour brilliance to customers entering the dye sublimation market, while offering a user-friendly, cost-efficient solution for short runs, proofing, and personalised applications. With its eco-friendly inks and Mimaki’s core technologies, it also supports a more sustainable production process.”
Sales Director at Hybrid, Andy Gregory comments, “Launching the new Mimaki TS200-1600 at The Sign Show gives visitors the opportunity to see first-hand how dye sublimation could open new revenue streams for their business. As an entry-level solution, the TS200 makes it easier than ever for companies to take that next step and diversify their offering.”
