Textile pigment ink

Prints on almost all fabrics, produces world-class brilliant color and high quality printing

Mimaki textile pigment inks contain a binder and a binding agent, which fix the color to the fibers on heating, and print fabrics with vibrant colors without losing their breathability and water absorbability. A wide range of materials are available for print applications, including apparel, such as T-shirts, signage flags, and more. Furthermore, the ink has a low formaldehyde content and has minimal impact on human skin and the natural environment.

High light resistance and washing fastness


The ink has high resistance to light and fading and has achieved excellent test results* with respect to high washing/laundering fastness (Levels 4 and 5). Bright colors will not fade after long-term use and repeated washing or laundering.          
*Tests were performed according to test methods of the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).

Discharge ink delivers bright and sharp print on dark-colored fabrics

Mimaki developed a discharge ink (SPC-0540) for inkjet printers before its competitors. The discharge ink removes the color dyed with reactive dyes. Discharge printing enhances color contrast. The natural fabric color is revealed or the reprinted color is represented more vividly on a dark base color. Thanks to Mimaki’s proprietary ink and printer technologies, discharge printing and color reprinting are simultaneously available.
