MIMAKI Europe will return to Heimtextil 2026, scheduled to take place from January 13–16 in Frankfurt with a renewed focus on material versatility and simplified textile production. At the exhibition, the company will present TRAPIS, its innovative pigment transfer printing system that enables manufacturers to print on a wide range of fabrics using a single ink set – ranging from natural fibres to blended and synthetic fabrics. Designed for easy, compact and cost-efficient operation, TRAPIS removes traditional barriers to digital textile printing, while also offering the added benefit of drastically reduced water use compared to conventional processes.
Heimtextil 2026 visitors will experience first-hand TRAPIS’ ground-breaking yet simple two-step pigment transfer printing process on Mimaki’s stand – comprising of a Mimaki TS330-1600 with built-in heater, TP410 inks and a high-pressure calendar. TRAPIS is uniquely positioned with its ability to print on a wide variety of fabrics, including cotton, viscose, polyester, blends and synthetics, unlike sublimation printing, which is limited to polyester-based textiles. Additionally, its compact footprint makes it ideal for small studios and businesses looking to introduce on-demand or short-run textile services, while reducing maintenance requirements and overall running costs.
