The Mimaki TS300P-1800 isn’t for hobbyists it’s for businesses where DTF printing is a core revenue stream. Priced like a small car but built like a tank, this hybrid printer blurs the line between direct-to-film and direct-to-garment with surgical precision and relentless uptime.
Unlike converted desktop printers, the TS300P-1800 treats white ink as a first-class citizen.
