New at FESPA
Shown for the first time in Europe at FESPA, Fiery and Mimaki are combining forces to demonstrate a complete solution for direct to film (DTF) production, adding even more value for customers in terms of the breadth and quality of products that they can produce. The combination of Fiery Digital Factory v11 — also being debuted for the first time — and the new Mimaki TxF150-75 DTF printer and ink gives beginners and experts alike the advantage of a complete solution backed by two of the industry’s best and most respected suppliers, bringing improved functionality, reliability, and productivity to DTF printing.
“At Mimaki, we are extremely thrilled to be aligning with Fiery to provide high-quality direct to film solutions to customers,” said Yuji Ikeda, General Manager Global Marketing Department of Mimaki Engineering Co., LTD. “DTF is an exciting and growing market where we feel the combination of our new TxF150-75 and Fiery Digital Factory provide a best-in-class solution that makes this expanding business opportunity even more appealing for businesses to invest in.”
