Mimaki’s Sb54/310/410 and Sb320/420 dye sublimation inks have been named Eco Passport-certified by Oeko-Tex, a union of independent textile research and test institutes. Oeko-Tex certifications are designed to encourage manufacturers to reduce their overall environmental impact.

Eco Passport-certified products are determined to be safely used in sustainable textile production. Eco Passport “authenticates the safety of chemicals used during the production of textile dyes, pigments, and finishing agents,” according to a release.
