Versatility in inks

thanks to high density sublimation and reactive dye inks

Mimaki’s MLSb510 and MLSb520 high-density sublimation ink dramatically improves print quality on polyester. The unique combination of ink and machine technologies achieves cost-effective and eco-conscious direct sublimation printing, and is also available on polyester fabrics with vivid and clear colours. Several black inks are offered to produce subtle differences in shades of black.

With Mimaki’s MLRc500 reactive dye ink, cotton, hemp, and silk are dyed beautifully. These dye inks produce vibrant colours, reproduce a wide colour gamut and have water resistance, light-fastness, and rub-fastness due to dyestuff molecule bonding with the fibres.

For even more confidence

our inks are OEKO-TEX certified
