Mimaki inks achieve Oeko-Tex accreditation

Two Mimaki inks have attained Oeko-Tex accreditation for direct skin contact.

The Sb300 series dye sublimation inks and Sb53 sublimation transfer inks have been awarded Oeko-Tex Standard 100, product class Il.

The inks are suitable to finish skin-friendly clothing and other textiles for end users. This certificate therefore constitutes an important decision-making element when purchasing inks for textile production.

Mike Horsten, general manager marketing EMEA at Mimaki Europe, said: “We were already well aware of the business-winning value of the inks but are delighted that Nissenken Quality Evaluation Center has awarded them the Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

“Customers can now use the inks confidently and safe in the knowledge they are approved for direct skin contact.”

The inks can be used on the following Mimaki systems: TS500-1800, TX500-1800DS, TX500-1800B, CJV150-107, 130 and 160, CJV300-130 and 160, JV150-130 & 160, JV300-130 and 160, JV5-320DS, TS3-1600, TS5-1600AMF, TS34-1800A and TPC-1000.

Mimaki’s textile and dye sublimation print systems are distributed in the UK and Ireland by Hybrid Services and are available through its specialist textile reseller network.
