Suwanee, GA – Mimaki USA, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutters, today announced that the Mimaki TS330-1600 sublimation transfer printer received a coveted PRINTING United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Award for the RTR (roll-to-roll) Dye Sublimation on Textile (under $50K) category. The TS330 Series will be on display in the Mimaki USA Central Hall booth C1737, at the PRINTING United Expo to be held in Las Vegas, September 10-12, 2024.

Open to all PRINTING United Alliance supplier members, the Pinnacle Product Award competition evaluates products that will be available for sale in 2024. A highly qualified panel of judges across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 160+ entries in more than 58 categories spanning analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies. Output devices are judged based on reports generated by measuring color charts and then comparing them to industry specifications. “This is the only competition I know of that reports on the percentage of Adobe RGB a printer can hit,” said Dawn Nye, Pinnacle Awards program manager PRINTING United Alliance. “Some categories were decided by tenths of a point, so the competition was fierce this year.”
