Mimaki Europe, a leading manufacturer of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, announces the TxF330-800, its new direct-to-film (DTF) printer. Designed to support stable, high-quality garment decoration in demanding print environments, the system combines automated maintenance, expanded white ink capacity and advanced production capabilities to streamline workflow.

Longer print runs with greater stability

Delivering 1.5x the production speed of the previous TxF300-75 model, the TxF330-800 is equipped for long, uninterrupted production runs with an expanded 16-cartridge ink system. Up to eight white ink slots provide up to 4L of capacity, while Mimaki’s UISS (Uninterrupted Ink Supply System) allows print providers to replace cartridges without stopping production.

The printer also incorporates Mimaki Feed Tension Technology (MFT), which improves film transport without applying additional tension. This reduces the risk of misalignment during high-speed and long-duration printing and supports stable, precise image quality.

To extend productivity further, rotary wipers have been introduced for easier maintenance of the print heads, while minimising ink splatter during wiping. MCT2 (Mimaki Circulation Technology) helps to prevent ink blockages which can slow down production.

Enhanced colour fidelity for garment printing

The expanded colour gamut now includes Sky Blue and Pale Pink inks, enabling more vibrant output, smoother gradients and more accurate colour reproduction - particularly important for applications requiring high colour fidelity, such as workwear and corporate merchandise. These inks are also ECO PASSPORT-certified and packaged in an environmentally friendly, eco-cartridge. The TxF330-800 is also compatible with a broader range of films for increased flexibility.

“Performance and productivity were key drivers in developing the TxF330-800,” comments Arjen Evertse, Director Sales at Mimaki Europe. “This new printer answers direct market demands for robust, high-speed DTF technology, and it further demonstrates our commitment to customer-focused innovation in this market. It’s the latest in a series of practical yet innovative solutions from Mimaki that help print providers maintain high-quality output during longer, more efficient and more profitable production runs.”

The TxF330-800 will make its debut at The Print Show and Viscom Italia.

DTF vs DTG Printing - The technologies shaping today’s custom merchandise market

From sportswear to branded tote bags, custom merchandise continues to grow in popularity across sectors, driving print shops to cater to short runs, personalisation, and rapid turnaround. As print providers look to this market, two printing technologies often stand out: Direct‑to‑Film (DTF) and Direct‑to‑Garment (DTG). Each offers its own benefits, and understanding these differences helps determine the most suitable production method for print service providers.
