1. Exceptional print speed

Tiger-1800B features 16 printheads arranged in two staggered lines (each line has 8 printheads).
It achieves maximum print speeds of up to 385 m²/h (*) in high-speed mode.
* High speed (3 drop size) mode (600 × 600 dpi, 1 pass, Bi) Textile width: 1,850 mm

Plotting Method

---

1 pass mode: High speed printing is possible

In 1 pass mode all printheads are used. One print width is equivalent to two staggers, and printing at high speed is possible.

---

---

1 pass, 2 layers mode: High density printing is possible

---

In 1 pass, 2 layers mode, rear row stagger of the headprint is used and printing is at the same density as in 1 pass mode. Front row of the headprint prints overlapping on the same place.
It is a 1 pass mode density x 2, which makes possible a high density printing results.

2. Droplet print mode selection suitable for print data

---

Depending on ink type and printing mode, there are 4 different droplet sizes. Droplet print mode can be choose to match the print data from high speed and standard mode.

---

---

1) High speed (3 droplet size) mode

---

Ideal for fine design data such as thin lines and for light colors printing.

---

2) Standard (4 droplet size) mode

---

Ideal for printing where density is required such as monochromatic colors.

---

3. Stable and reliable mechanism secures high-speed printing

---

1) Stable textile transportation mechanism

Textile transport security is achieved by the twin pressure roller shafts attached to the edge of the transportation belt. Textiles are uniformly applied without wrinkling onto the belt through the upper and lower rollers (Fig. 1), assuring stable textile transportation. Furthermore, the wrinkle and jam sensors detect textile wrinkling or creasing early in order to minimize potential damage to the printheads from collisions with raised or jammed textiles.

2) Degassing module and ink circulation mechanism maintain optimum ink conditions

---

Air bubbles generated in the ink can lead to missing nozzles because such bubbles act as cushions that decrease ink ejection power. To assure stable ink-jetting, each model of the Pro　series has a degassing module that removes bubbles and constantly circulates ink.

3) Automatic wiper cleaning

---

Cleaning liquid is automatically applied to each wiper before and after head cleaning. This liquid enhances the cleaning effect during the head-cleaning process, ensuring a clean wiper and reducing daily maintenance time. Furthermore, as each printhead has its own wiper, quick and effective cleaning is enabled while color mixing in the printheads is avoided.

4. Extensive optional units for accommodating various applications

---

Various optional units are offered to fit a range of production needs

1) Feeding units

---

2) Drying and Take-up units

---

---

5. Large-sized ink tank (10 kg) ensures cost-effective print operation

---

The bulk ink supply delivers cost-effective printing and enables long-hour printing. Furthermore, the printer monitors the ink level using a laser sensor and displays an alert on the operation panel when the ink level is low.

6. Software

---

High-performance software RIP "TxLink3 Standard" is bundled.
