Kornit Digital Expands to Sports Applications, Mass Production



February 3, 2016

Kornit Digital, Mequon, Wis., performed live printing demonstrations and unveiled new products during the 2016 Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) event, held Jan. 22-24 in Long Beach, Calif.

Kornit performed live printing demonstrations on its Avalanche Hexa system, using the new NeoPigment Pure ink which became commercially available in North America at the beginning of 2016. Among the samples was sportswear made from cationic-dyed polyester. 

The company also provided more details of its high-productivity Vulcan direct-to-garment (DTG) printing system, which is currently beta testing in North America and is expected to launch in mid-2016.

NeoPigment Pure ink is Kornit’s latest digital textile ink innovation providing color characteristics that are closer to ideal LAB values, according to the company. With a refined hand feel, NeoPigment Pure offers reduced post-print odor, and is suitable for use on virtually all fabric types with the added benefit of offering 100% sustainability and biodegradability.

Kornit’s new Vulcan digital DTG platform rivals screen printing for mid-to-long runs due to its speed and ink efficiency, according to the company. Compared to the company’s current systems, Vulcan users can reduce the cost per print by up to 40%. With the Kornit Vulcan, more textile printers and garment decorators can benefit from digital printing advantages, including reduced turnaround times, mass-customization capabilities and the elimination of setup costs, coupled with significantly reduced labor and manufacturing space, according to the company.
