Mimaki TRAPIS - Transfer Pigment Solution

TEXTILE PRINTING

Information

First previewed at ITMA 2023, TRAPIS offers transfer printing using textile pigment ink, broadening the application possibilities for print service providers. This new up-and-coming technology is able to print on a multitude of materials, including natural fibres, such as cotton and silk. TRAPIS provides a simple two-step process, consisting of an inkjet printer and a calender. The design of choice is printed by the inkjet printer with a dedicated ink onto transfer paper, which is then transferred to the application via a calender. Unlike both analogue and digital conventional dye-printing methods, TRAPIS generates almost no wastewater, 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.
