Mimaki Transfer Pigment System (TRAPIS) Refashions Textile Printing

[@shopvidswv1913]

Mimaki has to fix their user interface screen on the printer if they want to stay relevant in the next few years, it's slow, unintuitive, clunky and feels so old compared to other products on the market. If you raise the pinch rollers when the printer is in "remote" mode, the printer literally takes 2-3 minutes to think about what to do next like it's cranky and you upset it (supposed to put it in local mode first), and there is nothing you can do but stand there and look at the machine while it does this slow, MS-DOS slow speed thinking movement...we stopped purchasing Mimaki machines solely because their interface infuriates us with all of these little quirks that mimaki must consider "engineering minded" features. The fact you have to even put the printer in a different mode to just print is frustrating if you're working with the machine all day and the printer is across the room, changing medias, etc., this simple button push has cost us hours over years of using their machines, and we simply can't do it any longer so no more mimakis for us even though their print quality / support, etc. is great. - it simply won't print unless you push one simple button, why doesn't it just PRINT when it detects a job come through?!
