At the Print Show in Birmingham, Andy Gregory from Hybrid Services introduced the global debut of Mimaki's new entry-level dye-sub printer, the TS200.

The TS200 builds on the TS100, offering improved print quality with a wider colour gamut, including orange, violet, and fluorescent inks. It uses a single head, similar to the TS100, but achieves faster print speeds. The TS200 is suitable for both startups and established businesses, catering to various applications, including hard substrate printing.

Its affordable price point and Mimaki's reliability make it an attractive option for SMEs looking to diversify their offerings.
