B-Flex and Mimaki Europe strengthen their collaboration at FESPA 2026

Following a strong collaboration and successful testing, Mimaki Europe has selected B-FLEX DTF film and hot-melt powder for live demonstrations at FESPA Global Print Expo 2026.

The tests confirmed outstanding performance across all key parameters, including print quality, color vibrancy, detail definition and final hand feel. The materials also demonstrated excellent elasticity, wash resistance and workflow efficiency, ensuring consistent and reliable results over time.

“The feedback from Mimaki’s testing phase is extremely valuable for us,” says Diego Ramella, Marketing Manager at B-FLEX. “It confirms the strength of over 20 years of expertise in material performance, combined with a portfolio of more than 300 heat transfer vinyl solutions designed for real production needs.” At FESPA Barcelona, Mimaki Europe will use B-FLEX DTF materials throughout the exhibition to demonstrate the full potential of its printing systems, offering professionals the opportunity to experience first hand the benefits of combining advanced machines with engineered materials.
