As per the company release, the soon-to-be-released MM700-1800B uses various sensors and cameras during printing to automatically detect the textile feed advancement distance, seams, media jams due to head striking, meandering, and more as it controls the transport of the textile. The printer itself makes adjustments to avoid issues before it occurs, allowing stable printing to continue without constant operator supervision.
MM700-1800B’s carriage is driven by a linear motor that gives it positional accuracy on the micron level, which combines with a “variable dot” system delivering ink in multiple drop sizes to produce beautiful prints with even higher accuracy. It also ensures optimal performance with an adhesive belt transportation system with a roller bar for enhancing adhesion and reducing wrinkles/sags of textiles.
