MCT | Mimaki Sirkülasyon Teknolojisi

MCT is a function that prevents pigment sedimentation by periodically circulating the ink in its ink channel, reducing maintenance costs and increasing productivity. The pigments of special inks, such as white or silver, have a higher change to settle, which could lead to a clogged ink supply.

MCT Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

MCT kullanıldığında

MCT will periodically circulate the special inks in its ink supply channel, to prevent pigment sedimentation and to guarantee a stable ink supply.

MCT kullanılmadığında

The pigment of specials inks have the tendency to settle, which could eventually lead to a clogged ink supply. Additional time and money is needed to do this manually.

ID Cut (Barkodlu Kesim)

ID Cut is a Mimaki solution that prints the cut-data in the form of a barcode between the register marks of the nested images. At the cutting plotter, both the barcode and registration marks are scanned by an optical sensor and cutting starts accordingly, without the need to send the cut-data separately, reducing human intervention.

ID Cut Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

ID Cut kullanıldığında

ID Cut not only offers highly accurate cutting, as it separates the print- and cut job completely, it strongly reduces the chances of operation mistakes (waste) while allowing additional steps in between (lamination), and increases overall unattended productivity (roll versus sheet).

Since the alignment of the media in the cutter plotter and applying of the cut-data have to be performed manually, not only manual intervention is higher, it also limits the production runs.

Beyaz Boya Sirkülasyonu

White ink circulation prevents pigment sedimentation for special inks, such as white or silver, which could lead to a clogged ink supply, by periodically circulating the ink in the tubes and sub tank, to guarantee a stable supply while reducing ink discharge and waste.

Beyaz Boya Sirkülasyonu’nun Faydaları

Beyaz Boya Sirkülasyonu kullanıldığında

White Ink Circulation will constantly circulate the white ink between ink tanks and ink sub tanks, as well as through the print head, to prevent sedimentation. This reduces cleaning frequency, saving time and money.

Beyaz Boya Sirkülasyonu kullanılmadığında

The pigment of white inks have the tendency to settle, which could eventually lead to a clogged ink supply. Additional time and money is needed to do this manually.

AMF | Otomatik Malzeme Besleyici

AMF is Mimaki’s feed and wind system which absorbs tension differences and stabilize the thickness of the fabric during printing. Since each type of fabric has its own stretching characteristics, the system is available on most of our direct-to-textile printers. The tension, applied to the fabric during printing, varies according to the changes in the outer diameter of the front and rear rolls.

AMF Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

AMF kullanıldığında

AMF ensures a uniform tension and constant thickness of the fabric during printing, minimizing colour differences while increasing image quality.

AMF kullanılmadığında

As the tension and consequently the thickness of the fabric changes constantly, it results in an fluctuating and unstable image quality.

DAS | Nokta Ayarlama Sistemi

DAS performs (by default) both the feed compensation and drop position correction automatically when placing new media. Differences in weight and thickness between media may require these adjustments to prevent banding and colour misalignment.

DAS Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

Drop position correction

DAS automatically measures and adjusts the drop landing position for the bi-directional print mode, after changing the media. This to compensate for even the smallest difference in media thickness that may cause colour misalignment (banding).

Feed Compensation Adjustment

DAS automatically measures and aligns the passes after changing the media. This to compensate for even the smallest difference in media stretchability, to prevent either lighter or darker lines (banding) between the passes.

Tam Kesim

Over Cut is a technique which creates the perfect intersection at the start- and end-point in a single contour, ensuring easy weeding of the vinyl.

The advantage of ID Cut explained

Tam Kesim kullanıldığında

A perfect intersection at the start- and end-point of the cut ensures easy weeding of the vinyl.

Tam Kesim kullanılmadığında

The image might become bent and damaged when trying to weed the vinyl from the background.

Yarım Kesim

Half Cut is a mechanism which combines ‘die cut’ and ‘kiss cut’ in a single contour. It leaves a few connection points, which holds the image in place after cutting, while the backing sheet can be easily detached.

Yarım Kesim Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

Yarım Kesim kullanıldığında

While holding the images in the media roll, there is no need to pick them up from around the cutting device, saving manual labour and allowing longer production runs.

Yarım Kesim kullanılmadığında

Since every image is loose from the media roll and will fall from the cutting device, each cut needs to be picked up manually, requiring additional labour and time.

UISS | Kesintisiz Boya Besleme Sistemi

UISS allows ink replacement without the need to stop the print run, by automatically switching to the other ink cartridge/bottle when the first one runs out; after the switch, the operator can replace the empty one. This allows for longer unattended print runs and reduces unsuspected print holds due to insufficient ink. Only available for ink configurations that have two cartridges/bottles of the same colour.

UISS Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

UISS kullanıldığında

UISS lengthens the maximum print run, thanks to a larger ink capacity and prevents the operator from having to replace ‘not-yet-empty’ cartridges/bottles so that the (unattended) job can be finished.

UISS kullanılmadığında

The print job needs to be interrupted each time one of the ink cartridge/bottle runs out, reducing the overall productivity.

ACF | Otomatik Temizleme Fonksiyonu

ACF is a function that automatically cleans the print head surface using a wiper. As part of the print head cleaning cycle, it reduces the chance of clogged nozzles and guarantees stable and continuous productivity while reducing downtime.

ACF Teknolojisi’nin Faydaları

ACF kullanıldığında

The automatic cleaning function keeps the print head clean, ensuring reliable output results. Head cleaning is automatically carried out when printing is completed for a set length or time.

ACF kullanılmadığında

Without the automatic cleaning function, nozzles are more likely to become clogged, requiring more manual maintenance and time.

Kırışıklık Sensörü

The Jam Sensor is attached to the print carriage, detecting even the slightest wrinkled or draped textile surface. It prevents a print head strike or media jam, thereby reducing print head damage.

Kırışıklık Sensörü’nün Faydaları

Prioritising safety

The jam sensor helps to prevent accidents that can occur when media is not compatible or positioned correctly.

Better productivity outcomes

The jam sensor stops operating when safety for operators is threatened, such as when the manually inputted media thickness is wrong or when the displaced media interferes with the carriage. Once operations automatically halt, the carriage can be shifted to a safe position.
