The Mimaki M022557 is the genuine original printhead for the Mimaki TS55-1800 — a 76.3-inch (1,940mm) high-productivity dye-sublimation transfer inkjet printer engineered for continuous, unattended textile and apparel production. The TS55-1800 uses a staggered Head Assy layout with its newly developed printheads to enable MAPS (Mimaki Advanced Pass System) in high-speed mode, achieving print resolutions up to 1,200 dpi and maximum output of up to 1,506 sq. ft./hr in 4-color draft mode. Compatible with Mimaki Sb610 dye-sublimation inks in 4, 6, 7, and 8-color configurations including fluorescent pink and yellow. Every M022557 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Mimaki — manufactured in Japan, factory tested before shipment.
The TS55-1800 uses a staggered Head Assy layout. The M022557 printhead is specifically engineered for the TS55-1800's staggered arrangement — it is not the same as printheads from other Mimaki textile models. The NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) on this printer automatically detects and cleans failed nozzles; the NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) then substitutes defective nozzles to maintain uninterrupted production. When ordering a replacement head, ensure you have diagnosed the specific printhead position that requires replacement. Contact our team for guidance before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the NCU and NRS system do — and why does it matter when replacing this printhead?
The NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) continuously monitors nozzle performance and automatically triggers cleaning when it detects failures. The NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) then maps defective nozzles and routes their output to functioning nozzles so printing can continue without stopping. This means the TS55-1800 can often keep running even with minor nozzle issues. However, when the NCU cannot recover a head through cleaning — or when print quality degrades permanently — the M022557 printhead needs physical replacement. Contact our team if you're unsure whether your issue requires a new head or can be resolved through maintenance.
What Sb610 ink configurations does the TS55-1800 support?
The TS55-1800 supports Mimaki Sb610 dye-sublimation inks in four configurations: 4-color (Bl/M/Y/K), 6-color (adds Light Blue and Light Magenta), 7-color (adds Light Black), and 8-color (adds Fluorescent Pink and Fluorescent Yellow). The fluorescent inks are particularly popular for sportswear, fashion apparel, and vibrant soft signage applications. All Sb610 inks are ECO PASSPORT by Oeko-Tex® certified — meaning they meet strict standards for skin-safe textile chemicals, enabling printing on clothing in direct skin contact.
What textile applications is the TS55-1800 / M022557 designed for?
The TS55-1800 is designed for dye-sublimation transfer paper printing, covering a wide range of textile applications: sports apparel and jerseys, fashion textiles, swimwear, leggings, soft signage (flags, banners, backdrops), interior fabrics (curtains, cushions, tapestries), home decor, canvas, and more. The transfer paper printed by the TS55-1800 is heat-pressed onto polyester-based fabrics to complete the sublimation process.

Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse before 2PM EST. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Mimaki TS55-1800 textile production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
