Mimaki TxF150-75
Mimaki's roll-fed DTF printer: 800 mm maximum drawing width, PHT50 water-based pigment ink with white circulation, and RasterLink7 RIP — specified from Mimaki Europe's product page and EU datasheet, with the UK channel evidenced by Mimaki's own distributor statement.
What it is
A roll-fed direct-to-film printer: it prints Mimaki's PHT50 water-based pigment ink (CMYK plus circulated white) onto DTF transfer film up to 800 mm wide, for powdering, curing and heat-press transfer downstream. Mimaki's own datasheet note is explicit that the printer, ink and RIP are Mimaki's scope — film, hot-melt powder, powder/curing equipment and a heat press are separate purchases.
Who it may be relevant for: Decoration businesses moving from sheet-fed DTF to roll-fed transfer production, or adding DTF alongside existing roll-to-roll workflows.
UK market notes
- Mimaki's UK and Ireland channel is Hybrid Services Ltd: Mimaki Europe's own site described Hybrid as "the exclusive UK & Ireland distributor for Mimaki" in a 2018 statement, and later Mimaki material continues to show an active relationship (2025 Mimaki events hosted at Hybrid's Crewe site). No current official restatement of the exclusivity wording or its exact product scope was found in the reviewed sources — confirm the current channel arrangement with Mimaki or Hybrid where distributor status matters. Hybrid lists the TxF150-75 as a current product.
- Electrical figures come from Mimaki Europe's datasheet and are dual-voltage (AC 100–120 V / 200–240 V); the UK-supplied configuration and plug are not stated on any fetched page — confirm with the distributor before planning circuits.
- Warranty: Mimaki Europe's fetched documents state no warranty term. Hybrid's UK page describes a 2-year warranty with the second year conditional on Mimaki PICT cloud activation — a distributor statement, not Mimaki wording; confirm terms in writing.
- CE marking (EMC, Low Voltage, Machinery directive, RoHS) is stated on the EU datasheet; no UKCA statement appears on any fetched page.

Limitations
- The 3.3 m²/h speed figure is published without test conditions — no mode, resolution or pass count.
- The printer, ink and RIP are Mimaki's scope; DTF film, hot-melt powder, powder and curing equipment and a heat press are separate purchases (Mimaki's own datasheet note).
- Warranty terms from Mimaki itself are unverified; the 2-year description is the UK distributor's wording.
- Datasheet data is stated "as of April 2023" — confirm the current specification with the distributor before purchase.
Checklist
DTF production checklist
A start-to-finish run sheet for DTF transfer production: printer condition, RIP setup, powder and cure, press parameters, and post-press checks — the routine that keeps transfers washable and colours consistent.
Calculator
DTF cost-per-print calculator
Estimate what each DTF transfer really costs from film, ink, and adhesive powder consumption — with print layout, labour, and waste factored in — so gang sheet and per-print pricing stops being guesswork.
Equipment
Secabo TC5 SMART
Secabo's modular 38 × 38 cm clamshell heat press with Bluetooth app control: 225 °C maximum, 250 g/cm² maximum contact pressure and a 230 V / 1.8 kW rating — specified from the German manufacturer's own product data, with UK dealers named on its dealer page.
