Mimaki launches Entry-Level TS200-1600 Dye Sublimation Printer

Mimaki has announced the release of the TS200-1600, its latest sublimation transfer inkjet printer, which will debut internationally at The Sign Show / The Print Show in Birmingham, UK (23–25 September 2025).

Building on the success of the TS100, the new TS200-1600 delivers fast production speeds, high-quality and versatile applications at an affordable price point, making it an ideal solution for small shops, start-ups, and businesses looking to expand into customised goods and short-run textile production.

Powered by the same core technology behind Mimaki’s 330 Series, the TS200-1600 ensures smoother gradients, vivid colours, and outstanding accuracy without compromising 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 and eco-conscious consumers.

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 allows operators to easily shake the inks without removing them from the printer, simplifying maintenance while maintaining reliable performance. With Mimaki’s user-friendly RasterLink7 RIP software and PICT, Mimaki’s free 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,” says 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 more sustainable production process.”

With its compact footprint, environmentally certified inks, and support for a wide range of polyester fabrics and coated substrates, the TS200-1600 is positioned as an accessible yet powerful solution for businesses aiming to capture new opportunities in rigid substrate applications for custom goods and gifts and in the on-demand textile market.
