On-Demand High-Quality Value-Added Printing. SHIMA SEIKI’s new textile printing machine SIPTM-160F3 continues to provide beautiful full color printing on a variety of fabrics, with improvements across the board. Unlike conventional dyeing and printing systems that require long leadtimes for preparing films and plates, SIPTM-160F3 uses advanced piezo inkjet technology and is suited to quick-response small-lot production. Reactive dyes, acid dyes and pigment inks can be used to support different types of print applications. The height-adjustable carriage can be raised or lowered to allow printing on fabrics and products in varying thickness. SIPTM-160F3 is now equipped with a new ink circulation and degassing system. In addition, new features such as a head cleaner with nozzle cleaning and wiping, as well as a thermoregulating system within the ink pipeline help to provide stable printing. Operation is easy through a new, larger 23-inch touch-control monitor. With SIPTM-160F3, quick and flexible production capability allows on-demand printing, while high-quality, value-added printing raises fashion to new levels in added value.

Flatbed Printing Method SIPTM-160F3 is a unique printing machine that utilizes flatbed Ultra-High Speed Printing

printing technology for printing directly on a variety of items.

The carriage is capable of very high speeds. In addition, the

Examples of flatbed printing include printing across the entire print area, printing multiple items at once, "cross printing"

Accurate Color Matching When used in conjunction with the SDS®-ONE APEX3 apparel design system, its color management system (CMS) can be used for creating accurate simulations of the printed piece for checking before printing. In such a way accurate color matching can be performed in quickly.

Touch Panel Controller Operation is easy using a large 23-inch widescreen touchcontrol monitor. The menu has been configured for easy operation by beginners and experts alike. Furthermore, the controller is a separate unit from the printing machine so that it can be placed in a convenient location.

The flatbed printing is perfect for printing on garments laid out flat in an open cross-shaped state.

Printing embroidery simulations Through high-resolution printing of realistic embroidery simulations produced on SDS®-ONE APEX3 apparel design system, embroidery motifs can be added without affecting the texture of the original garment.

Utilizing yarn and dye characteristics By using yarn that does not take on dye for portions of a design, the printed product provides some special effects, creating new solutions for added value.

Printing on finished garments By adjusting the height of the carriage, printing can be performed on finished items such as WHOLEGARMENT® knitwear.
