Mimaki TX3-1600 TextileJet textile printer.

Mimaki has been a leader in entry-level textile printers.

The TextileJet, Tx3-1600, is the eight-color textile printer from Mimaki. This differs from the Mutoh Viper TX which is clearly stated not to handle stretchable fabrics (it is very ethical and honest of Mutoh to indicate this clearly in their advertising).

But there is a Mutoh-based printer that can handle stretch fabrics (and thick pile rugs too), the Yuhan-Kimberly UJET MC2-P Digital Textile Printer.

Mimaki Tx2-1600 TextileJet.

The Mimaki Tx2-1600 TextileJet is an earlier less complex textile printer.

Mimaki DS-1600, Mimaki DS-1800 dye-sublimation printers.

Both Mimaki, Mutoh, and Roland have dye sublimation printers. The Mimaki models are their Mimaki DS-1600, Mimaki DS-1800 dye-sublimation printers.

Roland-based textile printers.

Most after-market retrofits of water-based printers for textiles are designed around a Roland chassis. ATP Color would be the best example. This Roland+ATP Color printer has several names: Splash of Color Heatwave DFP-740 direct to fabric inkjet printer and Roland Hi-Fi Express FP-740.
