Specs and claims from Mimaki’s product page and spec sheet. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The TxF300-75 delivers production-class throughput with the same safety/reliability DNA as the TxF150-75. Dual heads, ECO PASSPORT PHT50 inks, and robust white circulation help it run fast and clean.
🔍 Performance Analysis — Mimaki TxF300-75 review
For shops outgrowing desktop gear, the Mimaki TxF300-75 review lands on one message: consistent speed. With two staggered heads and a quoted ceiling of ~10 m²/h, it’s roughly three times quicker than the TxF150-75, yet retains the same ink safety and reliability stack. That balance matters when your bottleneck is film throughput rather than press time. White opacity is strong with PHT50, and line acuity stays crisp at 720/1440 dpi on mainstream PET films. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Degassed aluminum ink packs and MCT circulation reduce micro-bubbles and white sedimentation, while NCU/NRS automate checks and substitute nozzles so jobs can keep running. In practice, fewer restarts and reprints often save more than raw ink cost—especially on long gang sheets where a single dropout can scrap a meter of film. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
🔗 Connectivity, RIP & Workflow — Mimaki TxF300-75 review
RasterLink 7 handles white-layer logic and queueing; Ethernet (1G) is preferable to USB for long files and shared access. Standardize film presets and heater targets across operators to keep color, hand-feel, and wash fastness predictable shift-to-shift. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
💰 Running Costs & Uptime — Mimaki TxF300-75 review
White coverage is the dominant cost. The TxF300-75’s higher speed shortens exposure to maintenance cycles, and its circulation/monitoring stack helps keep the white channel active. Maintain 40–60% RH, run quick nozzle checks before batches, and log film/ink usage in the RIP to refine cost-per-print. If your queue is heavy on dark garments and large backs, the 31.5″ class is a sweet spot for waste vs. handling.
🎯 Who Should Buy It? — Mimaki TxF300-75 review
Pick the TxF300-75 if you need 30″-class gang sheets at accelerated pace without trading away stability. If you require even wider layouts, look to the TxF300-1600 (63″); if your volume is modest, the TxF150-75 remains a reliable lower-cost entry. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
