It has been independently shown to be effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. The HeiQ Viroblock technology is not disrupted by heat applications, so the garments can be branded without affecting the fabric’s performance. The new HeiQ Viroblock collection from Premier Workwear includes the 3 Layer Face Mask, Touch Gloves, Bib Apron, the Unisex Short Sleeve Polo Shirt and the Unisex Long Sleeve Polo Shirt. The garments are ideal for those working in cleaning and hygiene roles, healthcare, hospitality, transport, logistics and warehousing, and supermarkets, explained the company. imagesmag.uk/Premier-HeiQ- Viroblock Hybrid announces new Mimaki TS100-1600 dye sub printer Hybrid Services, the Mimaki distributor for the UK and Ireland, has announced the launch of its latest textile printer, the Mimaki TS100-1600. Available from April 2021, the new TS100-1600 is Mimaki’s newest addition to its 100 Series, and is aimed at printers looking to add their first digital sublimation printing solution or expand their production capacity. The TS100-1600 has a print width of 1,600mm and speed of 70sqm/hr in its fastest mode. In addition, its use of one-litre ink bottles is designed to help reduce the running cost and enable stable, continuous operation due to the reduced need for ink replacement. The printer is also equipped with a nozzle check unit and nozzle recovery system, as well as a dot adjustment system function, which automates dot position correction and feeding amount correction, to reduce the need for operator intervention. Hybrid Services has also launched the new Mimaki Tiger-1800B MkIII industrial textile printer, which is available as a direct-to-textile (reactive or direct sublimation) or sublimation transfer printing solution. imagesmag.uk/Mimaki- TS100-1600 The new Mimaki TS100-1600 textile printer is available from April 2021 The garments in Premier’s new collection are all treated with HeiQ Viroblock The new Mantis World lookbooks feature QR codes to offer customers an interactive journey through the garment manufacturing process
