Water based / Aqueous inks

Mimaki offers a range of water based inks for sign and textile applications. Mimaki’s dye sublimation inks can be used to print directly onto polyester based media (DS series) or to print on transfer paper (JV33 and JV5 series), which can then be transferred to a wide range of sign and textile applications. The dye sublimation ink set includes the four process colours and light blue and light magenta. Mimaki’s aqueous pigment inks can be used only for indoor (backlit) applications and include the four process colours, light cyan and light magenta.
