Sublimation transfer printing is limited to polyester, so they would like to create an environment where they can print on a wider variety of fabrics.

The introduction of TRAPIS enables printing on nylon, synthetic leather, blended fabric, and mixed woven fabric. It was also adopted by a famous designer brand and received high praise. Currently focusing on BtoB printing orders triggered by commercialization of own brand.

Need a machine with high productivity and high cutting accuracy for apparel applications.

When they were using other companies' machine, they experienced cutting discrepancies or lack of cutting, but the CJV150 covered all the problems. The vividness of the colors is highly evaluated by customers, and they are also satisfied with Mimaki's support system.

In addition to output by 3D printer, post-processing such as polishing and coloring was time-consuming. Also, the hue were not very good and sometimes the finished product was not as desired.

The size of the output at a time was increased, greatly reducing labor and time. Output could be done at a level that did not require post-processing such as scraping off and polishing. In addition, coloring work is no longer necessary and colors can be expressed as they are in the 3D data, expanding the range of applications and making it possible to realize a variety of offers.

The Mimaki's JFX200 that was previously in our operation was a really good printer. While using it, I wanted a printer with even more productivity.

The JFX600, which supports a variety of print modes, is capable of printing approx. 15 full-size board per hour with even high image quality. And like the JFX200, its ease of setting media of various shapes and the repeatablity of print position accuracy were desitive factors in the investment.
