Mimaki’s Sb54/310/410 and Sb320/420 sublimation inks have achieved the Eco Passport certification from Oeko-Tex. Eco Passport authenticates the safety of chemicals used during the production of textile dyes, pigments and finishing agents.
The safety certification of raw materials for the Mimaki inks was achieved through the Nissenken Quality Evaluation Centre – the exclusive certification centre in Japan. The certification validates Oeko-Tex Standard 100 compliance, which products to meet over 300 requirements of relevant harmful substances.
