Dedicated transfer paper printer:
The TS330 was specifically engineered for the dye sublimation industry. Designed to print onto the thinnest of transfer paper, it includes a number of technologies that enable printing on thin transfer media, while maintaining extremely high quality output.
High gap printhead:
Thin transfer papers – desirable because of more square footage per roll – are susceptible to cockling, creating media transport problems and potential head strikes. The TS330 printer employs a new printhead that ensures accurate ink droplet placement with a high head gap, enabling high quality printing on thin transfer paper.
Media handling system:
A powerful vacuum feed platen holds media taut, while larger media press plates minimize cockling by reducing media uplift immediately after printing. The Auto Media Feeder applies calibrated tension to the media, maintaining stable and precise media feed and take-up.
Production print speeds:
The TS330 printer delivers high productivity with print speeds of up to 1453 square feet (135 square meters) per hour in four-color mode.
New Sb410 inks:
Mimaki-developed and manufactured Sb410 sublimation inks offer enhanced resolvability, which improves the print production yield by ensuring more stable ink jetting. Moreover, because the ink stability is improved, daily cleaning is easier and fewer regular cleanings are required, further contributing to cost reduction and higher throughput. A two-liter bulk ink system is standard.
Workflow enhancements:
The TS330 printer can be connected to a network via Ethernet (or USB 2.0) connection, for flexibility in setting up the workflow. Via the Remote Event Notification feature, it can relay status information such as start, finish or error messages to a mobile phone or computer.
