Mimaki Europe has announced that its textile pigment transfer printing system, Trapis, previewed at Itma 2023, will be commercially available from Fespa Global.
Arjen Evertse, general manager sales, Mimaki Europe, said: “After the positive reception we received when we initially showcased the technology last year, we’re pleased to now announce the release of this solution at Fespa. Conscious of the evolving sustainability standards and customer demands, we created Trapis as an innovative and seamless system for print service providers looking to produce high-quality and vibrant textile applications, while keeping cost, time and environmental impact to a minimum.”
Trapis, which consists of an inkjet printer and a calender, generates almost no waste water, only that which is produced during the printer’s automatic maintenance. Due to no pre-treatment or washing of the fabric being needed, this saves around 14.5 litres per square metre of water when compared to digital dye printing. Additionally, its ink has achieved the ZDHC MRSL Lv.3 certification and is bluesign approved.
