Mimaki TRAPIS: The Future of Natural Fiber Printing

Mimaki TRAPIS will change the way people print to natural fiber textiles. The natural fiber fabric revolution is just beginning, and this is the easiest and lowest cost of entry. Jon Gintzer from LA Print Lab joins me, and together we explain the advances in media versatility and ease-of-use that TRAPIS introduces to the market. This video offers the most comprehensive explanation of what TRAPIS is, what it does, and how it works. If you have any interest in printing to natural fabrics or to unusual fabrics, please take the time to listen to our conversation. TRAPIS can be experienced first-hand at both our Los Angles and Atlanta demo centers. I am very proud to be associated with this remarkable technology and with the core partners who make it happen.

Well done, Caleb, you have my highest recommendation. https://www.fablecontent.com/ #shortsbeta 00:00 - Intro 00:37 - Why Trapis? 01:51 - Short Runs and Low Minimums 02:30 - Rapid Turnaround Times 04:13 - Reducing Waste 05:39 - Production Speed 06:10 - Unprecedented Fabric Versatility 07:50 - Environmental Advantages 09:32 - Digital Transformation 10:33 - TRAPIS: Highest Variety + Lowest Cost of Entry 12:19 - The Return to Natural Fibers 14:47 - Strength in Numbers 15:52 - Less Ink, Lower Cost 17:09 - Three Partners: Mimaki + Coldenhove + Kleiverik | Monti Antonio 18:01 - Specialty Calendar Press 18:42 - Superior Pigment Colorfastness 19:44 - Trailblazing New Markets 20:30 - Outstanding Washability 21:20 - Match Your Tie to the Table Cloth 22:17 - Certified Safe 22:53 - Peerless Environmental Sustainability
