Mimaki USA, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutters, today announced that Next Wave Media Solutions (Buford, GA) has signed an agreement to distribute Mimaki JV Series, TS Series and TX Series printers with Mimaki Sb Series inks exclusively, as a premier solution for dye-sublimation printing.

Mimaki dye-sublimation inks have been optimized for use in Mimaki digital textile printers to deliver an increased gamut with deep, vibrant colors and excellent colorfastness. This matched system provides assurance that apparel, décor, soft signage and other textile creations will materialize as intended, reducing or eliminating the need for costly re-runs.
