MIMAKI to shed spotlight on latest sustainable solution at Heimtextil 2025

MIMAKI has announced its attendance at global textile tradeshow, Heimtextil 2025, which is scheduled from January 14-17 at Frankfurt, Germany. The show, as the world’s largest trade fair for home and contract textiles, will give MIMAKI the opportunity to demonstrate its latest sustainable innovation, TRAPIS. Following the system’s commercial launch earlier this year, TRAPIS is set to revolutionise the home textile industry with its environmentally friendly two-step textile pigment transfer printing process. By eliminating the need for pre-treatment and washing stages, TRAPIS reduces water usage by up to 90 percent, saving approximately 14.5 litres per square meter compared to traditional methods.

Being nearly waterless solution, TRAPIS is ideal for diverse applications, such as home textiles, as it enables vibrant printing on a diverse range of materials – including natural fibres, blends, and synthetics – with a single ink type. Certified by ZDHC MRSL Lv.3 and carrying the bluesign APPROVED label, the ink ensures both environmental and user safety, making TRAPIS a safe, eco-friendly solution for textile applications in sectors such as home décor, active wear, and fashion. TRAPIS also streamlines production with its simplicity, requiring only an inkjet printer and a high-pressure calendar, making high-quality, sustainable textile printing more accessible to print service providers worldwide.
