Following on from a successful launch at Viscom Frankfurt in October, Digital Print Innovations has announced the arrival of the new MTEX500, a 1.8 metre wide direct to textile production printer.

As a result of a direct technical OEM agreement with Mimaki, the MTEX500 is manufactured by POD in Europe.

Managing director of DPI Stewart Bell commented, ‘We are delighted with the expansion of the MTEX range. The MTEX500 is a high quality production printer that will further cement our expansion into the direct to textile print market.’

The MTEX500 uses Ricoh Gen5 heads producing variable drops in four or eight colours with resolutions of up to 1200 dpi and speeds up to 100 metres per hour’.
