DTF Printer TxF Series
Mimaki’s first DTF (Direct-to-Film) printers, packed with Mimaki technology
A safe and stable machine for your DTF print transfer sheets
INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW TxF300-75* – While both printers in the series offer the same superior Mimaki technology, the recently released TxF300-75*, with 2 staggered printheads, delivers new levels of productivity with speeds up to 3x faster than the TxF150-75 (one printhead), helping to expand opportunities in the market.
*The new TxF300 will be commercially available in the EMEA region in Q4 2023.
Unique features
- Degassed ink packsA common issue with current DTF printers in the market occurs when air inside the ink bottle reaches the print head, causing ejection issues.‘Air free’ ink packs strongly reduce the chance of air entering through to the ink supply and eventually the print head, thereby ensuring constant image quality.
The packs are placed in eco-friendly reusable cases, which reduce environmental waste, thus increasing the overall sustainability.
- White ink circulationAnother common issue with current DTF printers in the market is white ink clogging, causing ink supply issues.Being larger and heavier, white pigments have a higher chance to settle. Periodically circulating the ink prevents sedimentation, thereby ensuring constant ink quality and stable production.
- Nozzle drop-out detectionA continuous process which checks and detects for clogged nozzles and starts a cleaning cycle to recover them.When the cleaning cycle can’t recover them, those nozzles will automatically be substituted with open nozzles to ensure constant image quality and uninterrupted production.
- ECO PASSPORT certificationMimaki’s PHT50 pigment ink has acquired OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification.This is a globally accepted and independent certification system which demonstrates that our ink is suitable to print skin-friendly clothing and other textiles for end users.
Designed to produce DTF transfer sheets
for the wear printing market
Heat transfer pigment ink
The TxF Series uses Mimaki’s genuine DTF ink PHT50.
PHT50 is a dedicated ink to print directly on DTF-specific film. It is then hot-melt powdered and heat-treated to create transfer sheets.
The ink, available in 5 colours (CMYK + White), offers high density and vivid colours while printing the smallest details.
Mimaki’s guaranteed ink quality standards, in combination with the available colour profiles for the RIP, ensures a constant and predictable image quality for the long run.
For even more confidence
our inks are OEKO-TEX® certified
Mimaki inks PHT50 are OEKO-TEX® certified. ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® is a mechanism by which textile chemical suppliers demonstrate that their products are suitable to print skin-friendly clothing and other textiles for end users.
This certificate therefore constitutes an important decision-making element when purchasing inks for textile production.
This printer is packed with Mimaki Core Technologies that maximises production stability and image quality at all times. Refer to the below list of core technologies that are included in the TxF Series.
For continued productivity
- Nozzle Check Unit (NCU), to detect missing nozzles
- Nozzle Recovery System (NRS), to replace missing nozzles
- Automatic Cleaning Function, to keep the print head clean
- Mimaki Circulation Technology (MCT), preventing white ink sedimentation
- Uninterrupted Ink Supply System (UISS), for uninterrupted ink supply
For quality printing
- Mimaki Advanced Pass System (MAPS4), to reduce banding
- Waveform Control (WFC), for best possible image sharpness
- Variable Dots Technology (VDT), for smoother gradations
- Mimaki Fine Diffusion (MFD), for smoother colours
- Mimaki Intelligent Heater (MIH), for consistent image quality

Inline 800 – DTF Powder Shaker Cure Unit – by Adkins
Matching the maximum print width of the TxF Series printers, this powerful powder shaker cure unit ensures the even distribution of powder across DTF film rolls of all sizes up to 80cm in width.
• Low operating power consumption
• Built-in filtration, meaning no (external) extraction is required
• Media feed & powder applicator sensors (enabling the unit to stop feeding/powdering when there is no film and/or powder)
• Media suction control with pre-heat settings
• Finished print cooling fans allow for immediate handling
