Mimaki TRAPIS

TRAPIS, short for Transfer Pigment System, is a groundbreaking waterless digital textile printing technology developed by Mimaki. This waterless technology is eco-friendly, efficient, and versatile.

TRAPIS provides a simple two-step process, consisting of a Mimaki TS330 printer with a TP ink set, heater unit and a calendar. The design is printed by the TS330 onto special transfer paper, which is then transferred to the fabric via a calender.
