The Mimaki Colour Lab isn't just a support desk — it's a service layer built around the printer. ICC profile generation, RasterLink and TxLink training, operator certification, and spot-colour matching keep a Mimaki digital printer calibrated to production colour targets across its service life.
Send us a substrate swatch. We print a profiling chart on your material using the Mimaki platform you're evaluating, measure it on an i1iO or Barbieri spectro, and deliver an ICC profile plus a device link for RasterLink or TxLink.
Operator-led workshops on RasterLink for UV and solvent, and TxLink for textile sublimation and DTF. Delivered as half-day onsite modules or full virtual syllabus for distributed production teams.
Structured certification for UV, sublimation, DTF, and 3D operators — covering head maintenance, waveform basics, nozzle recovery procedures, and safety compliance. Pass-rate tracked per operator, renewal every 18 months.
Brand-critical colour match to physical Pantone, HKS, or client reference swatches — measured against a GMG- or ColorGATE-style tolerance window. Target Δ E < 2.0 on production runs, Δ E < 1.5 on soft-proof approvals.
Subscription access to 400+ validated substrate profiles in the Mimaki Profile Library. New substrates added on request — typical validation cycle for a net-new material is 2–3 weeks.
Scheduled head maintenance visits — nozzle checks, waveform re-calibration, and NCU/NRS exercising — to keep print heads inside their waveform envelope. A clogged head on a long textile run is the most expensive kind of downtime.
Describe the job, substrate, run length, and colour-critical brand targets. We ship a substrate-return pack for profiling work.
The colour lab recommends the right Mimaki platform and ink chemistry — UV flatbed vs sublimation vs DTF — with a gamut-check on your brand palette.
On request, we produce a physical sample print on your target substrate with a validated profile, shipped with spectro readings on the swatch.
On-site installation, operator certification onboarding, RasterLink / TxLink workflow setup, and first-article colour approval against the sample.
Scheduled preventive head care, profile library updates, and re-certification cycles maintain colour consistency over the machine's service life.
Send a piece of your substrate. The Mimaki Colour Lab returns a validated profile, gamut report, and an honest recommendation on which platform — if any — should carry your job.
