Sappi Celebrates Over 20 Years of Transjet Excellence at FESPA 2025


At FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 in Berlin, from May 6-9, Sappi Europe will showcase its market-leading transfer papers while celebrating the long-standing success of Transjet, the undisputed leading brand in the industry for over 20 years. At booth D70 in hall 1.2, Sappi will present its comprehensive expertise in thermal sublimation technology.

Where Technical Excellence Meets Sustainability

Visitors to Sappi’s booth will discover a boutique-style environment that highlights the versatility of Transjet papers through real-world applications. A presentation will follow the entire process, from the unprinted paper to the final sublimated textile, demonstrating the exceptional quality and color performance that have made Transjet the industry benchmark for two decades.

Sappi offers comprehensive technical service and support to ensure best practices in the use of Transjet papers, from project planning and paper selection to advice on printers, inks, and other factors influencing the printing and transfer process.

Partnerships that Foster Innovation

During FESPA 2025, Sappi’s Transjet papers will be showcased live at the booths of our partners, including industry leader Transmatic (1.2-B40). This collaboration allows visitors to see firsthand how Transjet papers deliver superior results when combined with leading printing and heat press technologies.

Strategic Investment in the Carmignano Mill

Sappi has successfully implemented its recent investment in the Carmignano mill in Italy. The company has installed two new slitting machines and an automated packaging line, with employees receiving comprehensive training to ensure optimal operation.

This improvement enables Sappi to serve its customers with all types of plotters, maxi plotters, and mini jumbos with unprecedented flexibility and a faster response to changing market demand. The new converting capabilities include widths from 30 to 340 cm, diameters from 11 to 47 cm, and lengths from 80 to 3000 m.

“Sublimation is a powerful printing technique, but success depends on mastering the many variables that influence the result,” explains Michael Bethge, Sales Director for Flexible Packaging and Sublimation at Sappi Europe. “Our investment in the Carmignano mill allows us to continue to provide the most reliable and high-performing transfer papers in the industry, while offering greater flexibility and a faster response to market demands. The Transjet team provides not only superior quality papers but also expert technical advice to solve any challenges in your next project.”
