Mimaki’s exclusive UK and Ireland distributor, Hybrid Services announces the launch of the new TS200-1600, the Japanese manufacturer’s latest sublimation transfer inkjet printer, which will make its international debut at The Sign Show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK (23–25 September 2025). Building on the success of Mimaki’s 200 platform, 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 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 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 simplifies maintenance while maintaining reliable performance. Combined 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,” 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.”

With its compact footprint, environmentally friendly and safe 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 within rigid substrate applications for custom goods and gifts, as well as in the on-demand textile market.
