1.8m Head Dye Sublimation Textile Fabric Inkjet Printing Machine with XP600 Head

The M18 is a 1.8m (6ft) eco-solvent / dye-sublimation capable wide-format printer introduced by Mimage. It is designed for textile and large-format applications, offering a fashionable black chassis, stable mechanical design and cost-effective operation.

The M18 supports a range of Epson print-head configurations depending on the model/option chosen. Examples include various Epson heads such as DX5, DX11, 4720 and 3200 (different configurations produce different speeds and resolutions).

Maximum print width is 1800 mm. Maximum print resolution up to 1440 dpi (actual resolution depends on the selected print-head configuration).

Print speeds vary by head and mode. Typical examples are: Option A – Draft 18.5 sqm/h, Production 15.3 sqm/h, Accuracy 12.8 sqm/h; Option B – Draft 15.9 sqm/h, Production 12.3 sqm/h, Accuracy 8.2 sqm/h; Option C – Draft 21.6 sqm/h, Production 18.1 sqm/h, Accuracy 15.6 sqm/h.

The M18 uses dye-sublimation ink (CMYK) and employs a negative-pressure continuous ink supply. Each color is supplied from a 1000 ml tank.

Supported media include water-based media (PP self-adhesive vinyl, backlit film, photo paper, movable PP self-adhesive vinyl, photo cloth) and oily-based media such as photo paper, canvas, car stickers, reflective film and PVC cold lamination film.

Yes. The M18 has fore and after heating systems and a front fan drying system to assist ink fixation and drying for continuous production.

The M18 is designed for easy installation and startup. The vendor provides an installation manual, step-by-step installation videos and remote support to help you get printing quickly.

The printer supports Maintop and Photoprint (optional) RIP software. Standard ICC profiles have been tested with the printer and inks to ensure optimal color performance; custom profiling is supported for specific workflows.

Data is transmitted over a network connection — the printer supports network-port printing for workflow integration.

Power supply options: 220V or 110V, 50Hz/60Hz. Recommended operating temperature is 15–30°C with relative humidity of 40–60%.

The M18 includes an automatic cleaning system to maintain print-head health. Routine maintenance (fluid checks, cleaning cycles and periodic head checks) is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Common applications include textile printing, soft signage, backlit displays, vehicle graphics, decals, canvas and photographic prints — essentially wide-format textile and display production.

Typical consumables include sublimation ink (CMYK), maintenance fluids, wipers, platen parts, and replacement print-heads or head components as required. Keeping spare ink and routine maintenance items on hand reduces downtime.
