Key Features
Enhanced Productivity
The TS55-1800 offers a print speed of 1,453 ft²/hr with six print modes for optimal speed and quality, boosting productivity by 130% over previous models. It also features three optional accessories to reduce ink and media costs, improve efficiency, and minimize downtime.
Dynamic Adjustment System
DAS (Dynamic Adjustment System) automatically adjusts ink dot position and media feed in real-time, ensuring high-quality prints without manual intervention. This saves time and reduces errors, boosting productivity for sublimation printer users.
MAPS4
MAPS4 (Mimaki Advanced Pass System 4) reduces banding and color inconsistencies by blurring the boundaries between swaths. This helps eliminate visible lines and uneven color, resulting in smoother, more uniform prints that closely resemble gradation, even in areas with subtle color transitions.
Nozzle Recovery System
NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) automatically detects missing nozzles and performs cleaning. If cleaning doesn’t resolve the issue, the NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) replaces defective nozzles, allowing users to continue printing without waiting for technician repairs, minimizing downtime and lost profit.
RasterLink7
This RIP software is designed with beginners in mind, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. It features improved PDF transparency, 25% faster RIP processing, and a Variable Print function for personalized prints. With an intuitive interface, streamlined
settings, and quick setup, it makes printing more efficient and accessible.

TxLink4
TxLink4, available in three versions, is built for professionals seeking powerful, advanced features. It offers parallel RIP for processing up to 8 jobs simultaneously, 16-bit rendering for smoother gradations, and an enhanced variable print function.
These robust tools ensure efficient, high-quality textile printing for demanding environments.

Optional Add-Ons
Optimize your dye-sublimation workflow with the Mimaki TS55-1800's optional add-ons. The Mini Jumbo Roll Unit cuts downtime by supporting larger rolls, while the 22 lb Ink Supply Unit reduces ink changes and costs. The Extended Heater ensures smooth, fast printing by preventing media blockages. Choose any or all to increase productivity and reduce labor.
Mini Jumbo Roll Unit
The Mini-Jumbo Roll Unit accommodates Mimaki Vision Jet-X transfer paper rolls up to 8,202 feet (2,500 meters), lowering cost per square meter and minimizing downtime. Larger rolls reduce the need for frequent media changes, boosting efficiency and reducing interruptions compared to smaller rolls.
22 lb Ink Supply System
10kg Sb610 ink (B/M/Y/K) ink-tanks* enables long period
continuous output, such as in all night operations by mounting replacement ink-tanks on the optional 10kg ink-tank supply unit (sold separately).
The tank achieves significant reductions in running cost and operation time
over the standard 2 liter packs.
*Lbl/Lm/Lk/Fy/Fp inks are available only in 2L ink-packs and can be used in
parallel with the 10kg ink-tanks
Extended Heater
The extended heater improves ink drying and prevents media "blocking," which occurs when wet ink obstructs the smooth feeding of the material during high-speed printing. This enhancement ensures consistent and stable production by reducing the risk of media jamming.
