Mimaki is a specialty printing company. Instead of assembling third-party heads, inks, and RIP software, we build our own piezo waveform control, formulate our own ink chemistry, and ship Mimaki Colour Technology (MCT) as a connected stack — so that a UV flatbed on one floor and a sublimation textile line on another read colour the same way.
Anyone can plumb ink through a machine. The hard work is keeping that ink behaving — drop volume, curing energy, substrate interaction, and colour metrology — across platforms, across shops, across years of service life.
Every Mimaki investment lands on that axis: in-house ink chemistry, waveform piezo head development, MCT colour management, and the Nozzle Check Unit / Nozzle Recovery System. It's why our customers frame Mimaki as "the ink company that ships printers" rather than the other way around.
Mimaki begins in the electronic cutting plotter market — the same precision-motion foundation that later shows up in print head traversal and bed control.
Piezo inkjet platforms enter the sign and graphics market, pairing eco-solvent ink chemistry with Mimaki's in-house waveform control.
Mimaki moves UV flatbed platforms to LED curing, reducing dwell heat on films and cutting mercury-arc curing-bulb waste.
The sublimation platform enters the apparel and soft-signage market with the Sb ink family and TxLink RIP — unifying colour management with UV platforms.
Mimaki enters full-colour 3D printing with the 3DUJ series — jetting UV-cured colour into resin for scale models, medical visualisation, and architectural prototypes.
Direct-to-Film platforms (TxF300-75 / TxF150-75) round out the apparel portfolio alongside sublimation and direct-to-textile pigment — one colour stack, three routes.
Mimaki Colour Technology (MCT) consolidates ICC profile, spot-colour replacement, and soft-proofing across RasterLink and TxLink — a single colour discipline across every Mimaki platform on a shop floor.
We name certifications we actually hold, and flag the ink lines each covers. If a specific project requires a certificate number, the Mimaki colour lab can issue it on request — we do not claim what we cannot evidence.
Regional Mimaki colour labs host in-person and virtual visits — including walk-throughs of the ink chemistry bench, the waveform test rigs, and the substrate validation library.
