Popular for developing and manufacturing high production industrial Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printers and chemical solutions for the garment printing and apparel decorating industry, Israel-based Kornit Digital would be participating at the ITME show this year with its line of DTG printers, namely, Paradigm, Breeze and Avalanche DC Pro. “Visitors will discover new ideas in which to increase the design quotient of their products, along with solutions for doing the same,” says Sandeep Mehta, Sales & Marketing Manager, Kornit Digital, India. Kornit would display solutions focussing on the aspects of speed to market and cost-effective printing.
‘Paradigm’, a Digital Printing Station, is an automatic screen printing carousel. It combines the best of both the worlds – analog screen printing and digital printing. With this combination, it is now possible to print a file which can have any number of colours at high resolution and also have screen effects by using glitter inks and/or HD inks, or doing gumming for foiling or caviar beads. It has a unique and high-end print head configuration, for a high productivity, thus making it the most viable solution for printing high fashion garments at lowest printing cost. Defining Paradigm as the best of both worlds, Dhaval Dadia, Director, DCC, and Indian agent for Kornit Digital added, “While printing on dark fabrics, an under-base with discharge or white ink is printed through screen inks instead of digital inks, which reduces the total print cost by almost 70% as white ink is the main consumption. Also the speed is more than double of stand-alone digital printing machine, makeing the ROI very attractive.”

An ideal printing system for e-commerce, limited edition niche designs, corporate T-shirts and other promotional wear, the ‘Kornit 921 Breeze’ is built with an integrated pre-treatment system incorporating industrial grade print heads, making the machine perfect for commercial use. It also enables printing at the lowest cost as compared to any other digital printer. This Direct-to-Garment printer is equipped for small to medium level production businesses, and is known for affordable and high quality printing on both dark and light garments. The printer is designed to allow garment decorators to use high-end technology benefits at minimum cost. Kornit, with its partnership with Spectra, features its unique ink system that includes 6 industrial print heads (CMYK and white) with 256 nozzles in each machine. It is easy to operate and maintain, can be hooked up to any computer, desktop or laptop, without the need for an air compressor, and can basically be operated from almost any site – office, shop or factory. The printer uses Kornit’s proprietary pigmented ink and the Kornit QuickP Ripping application.
The ‘Avalanche DC Pro’, another of Kornit Digitals popular digital printing machine, is meant for industrial production and has capability of ‘Digital Discharge Printing’ in combination with white ink. It enables discharge printing with varying amount of white ink giving flexibility to achieve the desired ‘feel’ and ‘colour definition’. Equipped with dual bridge technology this model helps economize ink consumption.
