The Kornit Vulcan Plus is able to deliver more than 2,000 retail-quality impressions in a 12-hour shift. It builds on the success and feedback from customers using Kornit Vulcan, a 2017 SGIA Product of the Year. The eco-friendly system, which has undergone beta testing by Kornit customers in both the United States and Europe, represents the highest-capacity DTG print system in Kornit’s product portfolio and the broader marketplace.
Kornit also introduced the Storm HD6 Lite system, “enabling print shops of all sizes with on-demand DTG printing that meets the retail quality and sustainability standards of the world’s largest and best-known retail brands,” says the Israeli-based industrial digital printing technology company. “With a production capacity of up to 60,000 impressions annually, Storm HD6 Lite provides DTG printing for smaller print operations, such as commercial printers moving to the industrial market and analogue printers broadening their production capabilities. Storm HD6 Lite effectively replaces Kornit Storm II.”
In addition to presenting Vulcan Plus and Storm HD6 Lite, Kornit also welcomed Impression Expo visitors to live demonstrations of the brand’s eco-friendly Atlas, Avalanche Poly Pro, and Storm HD6 systems for on-demand DTG printing.
Since its debut at ISS Long Beach 2019, Kornit has delivered more than 70 units of the Atlas system for industrial-capacity DTG.
Avalanche Poly Pro is the only digital DTG system designed for dyed polyester and poly blends, offering nearly unlimited graphic detail and colour gamut for sportswear and athleisure fabrics. “Opening the polyester apparel market to DTG capability and quality has contributed to Kornit’s momentum, as many Poly Pro users are also new Kornit customers,” says a company press release.
Visitors also had the opportunity to get hands-on with Kornit Konnect, the company’s cloud software analytics platform that provides users a single dashboard to monitor and manage productivity. The platform empowers customers to receive real-time data that helps them manage their operations, prioritize deliverables, assess costs, troubleshoot, and set goals from the convenience of their laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
“Kornit spent the past year rolling out innovative product after innovative product, setting the pace for a textile decoration industry that demands quality, durability, and social responsibility, manufacturing on demand and without restrictions, serving an array of needs and consumer profiles wider than anyone had conceived even a few short years ago,” says Omer Kulka, Kornit’s EVP of marketing and product strategy. “We’re not letting up anytime soon, as the new Vulcan Plus and Storm HD6 Lite make retail-quality DTG impressions accessible to printers and brands of every size and need.”
