Higher print gap with high quality output
•Accurate dot placement even when using a higher print head gap
•The new print head fires ink droplets with a higher speed
•The ink drops are fired straight onto the fabric, even when printing with a larger head gap
•Recommended head gap for the best print results is 3mm

Printing on “thin media”
•Printing with a high head gap prevents the print heads from touching the
media
•Powerful platen vacuum reduces cockling
•The temperature of the post heater is separately adjustable
(upper and lower part)
•AMF tension bar guides the media appropriately

High image quality by variable dot printing
•Depending on the used print mode* three different drop sizes
are automatically selected (small/medium/large)
•Variable dot printing delivers smooth gradation
13
*TS300P-1800 works with two different waveforms, to achieve high speed and high quality printing the best
waveform is selected automatically.

Stunning quality
•MAPS4 (Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4)
•MAPS4 prints passes in gradation-like tone, by dispersing ink drops between the
passes, which reduces banding, uneven drying ink, and bidirectional stripes
•MAPS4 works in the higher pass modes of each resolution

Continuous operation
•NRS (Nozzle Recovery System)
•Increases the uptime
•Replaces missing nozzles by working nozzles in other passes
•No need for direct service intervention
•Makes printing with the same quality possible, even if nozzles are
missing

Continuous operation
•NCU (Nozzle Check Unit)
•Nozzle condition is automatically checked per transferred file or set print length
•When nozzle clogging is detected, cleaning starts automatically
•When nozzle clogging is not recovered by cleaning, Nozzle Recovery System automatically works and
starts printing.

Automatic wiper cleaning
•The ink on the wiper is automatically removed after cleaning
•Less and easier daily maintenance, because the wiper is cleaned
automatically
•Since the ink on the wiper is removed, it keeps the nozzle surface clean
and supports a stable firing of the ink
