For a sustainable future with Mimaki
For 50 years, Mimaki has transformed industries with breakthrough printing technologies. From the first eco-solvent inkjet printer to today’s waterless textile solutions, we’ve consistently pushed boundaries for a more sustainable future.
Where others see challenges, we see opportunities to PRINT DIFFERENT.
Our product lineup embodies decades of sustainable innovation
Throughout our history, we’ve heard what couldn’t be done in printing. Too much water waste. Too much energy use. Too much environmental impact. But at Mimaki, we’ve always seen these challenges differently. Here are three stories of how we’ve transformed ‘impossible’ challenges into innovative solutions.
Traditional textile printing requires enormous amounts of water. In 1998, Mimaki introduced the pioneering Tx-1600S, allowing for the first time, users to digitally print direct onto fabric. Today, our groundbreaking TRAPIS technology offers a completely waterless solution.
The need to diversify applications and the more recent calls for improved sustainability, the Sign Graphics industry has undergone plenty of change over the years. In 2002, Mimaki released the JV3-130S, the world’s first high-production eco-solvent inkjet printer. And in 2008, we introduced the UJV-160, one of the first wide-format inkjet printers using UV-LED curing technology, reducing energy consumption by up to 90%.
Initially product customisation was a challenging and costly endeavour, requiring expensive, energy and time-consuming processes. But Mimaki’s early innovation and adoption of UV technology – particularly UV flatbed technology – helped pave the way for today’s extensive and efficient printing workflows.
At Mimaki, we believe sustainable transformation happens at every level. Through our every day choices and community initiatives, our teams are turning small actions into meaningful environmental and social impact.
Beyond breakthrough innovations, true sustainability requires commitment at every level. At Mimaki, this means aligning our entire operation – from product development to daily practices – with the highest environmental and social standards for lasting change.
