Mimaki Europe has launched a new aqueous pigment ink AP50, designed for use with the company’s Tiger600-1800TS.

This new solution introduces Tiger technology to the sign and graphics industry. Providing a high-speed, high-quality, and environmentally responsible solution for printed out-of-home advertising, such as blueback and citylight posters.

Arjen Evertse, director sales, Mimaki Europe, said: “Bringing the Tiger600-1800TS to sign graphics is a game-changer. Recent trends in the out-of-home advertising sector show growing demand for regional customisation and smaller-scale campaigns.

“As printing volumes per design decrease, traditional offset printing becomes increasingly unfeasible – opening up new opportunities for digital print. By introducing our water-based technology portfolio to this market, we are giving printers a new way to produce vivid, high-volume posters with the quality, speed, and sustainability that define Mimaki.”

The aqueous pigment ink, AP50, has been specifically designed for fast turnaround graphics with its vivid colour reproduction and smudge-resistant images due to its drying properties.

Designed for digital coated papers similar to those used in latex and solvent printing, the AP50 ink ensures easy integration into existing poster production workflows.

Primarily composed of water, it is also scheduled to obtain GREENGUARD Gold certification, reinforcing Mimaki’s commitment to safe and sustainable printing practices.

Mr Evertse added: “With the AP50 ink, we are combining Mimaki’s colour expertise with water-based innovation to support sustainable, high-speed poster production.

“This new solution gives printers a clear competitive advantage – lowering costs and environmental impact while delivering the vivid, high-impact graphics Mimaki is known for.”

The Tiger600-1800TS with AP50 ink will be released in limited quantities to early customers in the coming months, ahead of its full commercial availability in February 2026.
