Tiger-1800B will speed the transformation from analogue to digital

Mimaki was an early mover in digital textile printing, as early as 1998. Over the ensuing years, an in-depth experience has been gained on textile and apparel from developed solutions. Mimaki also brought to market an industry-leading array of inks that allows printers to image just about any fabric on the market. The next step in Mimaki’s comprehensive entry-level and middle-range solutions was the Pro Series Textile Printers. In this context, the innovative Tiger 1800B is a true production model that will help speed the analogue-to-digital transformation the industry is currently undergoing.

Research shows that only 3% of global textile production is manufactured via digital printing. However, demand and diversity in digital technology continues to grow in a way that traditional analogue technology cannot cope. An average of 30% growth over the last five years reveals this fact. Industry professionals expect this growth to continue in an accelerating and expanding range over the next few years. The digital transformation that the textile printing industry is experiencing opens up incredible avenues for both the end-user and the textile industry.

Digital transformation in the industry is driven by brands and retailers wishing faster production, more frequent collection changes; reduce stocks and supply chain waste. The production process of conventional production methods; which takes weeks or even months cannot fully meet these needs; however with digital production the products reach to a point where they can be shipped to the stores in almost a week.
