The textile printing landscape is evolving at a pace faster than many industry players realise. Advanced digital technologies are not just transforming how textiles are printed but also redefining what is possible. From unprecedented design precision to sustainable production methods, the possibilities are vast—but how much do you really know about them?

Staying competitive means more than keeping up; it requires continuously questioning what your current processes might be overlooking. The future is here—are you ready to seize it?



The statistics print a clear picture: companies investing in modern digital textile solutions report up to 40% faster turnaround times and 60% reduction in waste compared to traditional methods. Yet many commercial printers remain locked in legacy processes, watching opportunities slip away to more agile competitors.

These exclusive sessions are your chance to see cutting-edge technology in action, gain invaluable insights from industry experts, and explore how innovative textile solutions can transform your workflow. Spaces are limited, so secure your place today and position your business at the forefront of the digital textile transformation.

Discover the new TS200-1600 and the TX330 Series from Mimaki: Redefining Entry-Level Excellence

Mimaki's new TS200 represents a paradigm shift in dye-sublimation printing. Building upon the foundation of the TS100, this entry-level printer delivers high quality print with a significantly wider colour gamut, including orange, violet, and fluorescent colours that were previously unattainable at this price point.

The TS200's single-head design achieves faster print speeds while maintaining exceptional quality, making it equally suitable for educational institutions and established commercial operations. More importantly, its affordability removes the traditional barrier between aspiration and acquisition, enabling businesses to diversify their offerings without overwhelming capital investment.

The Mimaki TX330 Series uses an advanced hybrid technology to enable the use of pigment textile inks (for direct fabric printing) or dye sublimation inks (for transfer printing onto polyester) from a single machine. This functionality allows users to switch between ink types by easily changing the printing mechanism and ink sets to accommodate a wide range of applications, from apparel to soft signage, on various fabric types. This versatility not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures businesses can adapt swiftly to evolving market demands and creative opportunities.

Explore the TRAPIS: The Transfer Pigment Solution

The Transfer Pigment System (TRAPIS) fundamentally challenges how we think about textile printing. This waterless technology eliminates the environmental burden of traditional processes while delivering superior quality across natural, synthetic, and blended fibres.

The two-step process—printing onto special transfer paper with the TS330 printer and subsequent calender transfer—streamlines production workflows dramatically. By removing the need for steaming and washing, TRAPIS doesn't just improve efficiency; it transforms the entire production paradigm.

Driving Sustainable Advancements in Textile Printing

At the heart of modern textile innovation lies a commitment to sustainability. The TRAPIS system exemplifies this by reducing environmental impact through its waterless and chemical-free process. By eliminating the need for traditional steaming and washing, this cutting-edge solution minimises waste and conserves resources, setting a new benchmark for sustainable textile production. With TRAPIS, businesses can not only enhance their operational efficiency but also align with global sustainability goals, creating value that is both forward-thinking and environmentally responsible.
