Kornit Digital announced that the company will be introducing two new digital direct-to-garment (DTG) print systems at the upcoming Impressions Expo Long Beach event, taking place January 17, 2020 to January 19, 2020 in Long Beach, California. Vulcan Plus: DTG Mass Customization, Improved for 2020: Kornit will introduce Kornit Vulcan Plus, it’s next-generation system for DTG mass customization at Impressions Expo. Able to deliver more than 2,000 retail-quality impressions in a 12-hour shift, Vulcan Plus 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. Storm HD6 Lite: Completing the Retail-Ready DTG Portfolio: Kornit will also introduce 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 large and best-known retail brands. 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 analog printers broadening their production capabilities. Storm HD6 Lite effectively replaces Kornit Storm II. Kornit’s exhibit (Booth 2035) will reflect and build upon the momentum the company achieved in 2019, a year in which multiple game-changing systems were introduced. In addition to presenting Vulcan Plus and Storm HD6 Lite, Kornit welcomes visitors to observe live demonstrations of the brand’s eco-friendly Atlas, Avalanche Poly Pro, and Storm HD6 systems for on-demand DTG printing: Storm HD6 represents the most capable member of Kornit’s Storm platform, which is continuously widening Kornit’s install base as the ideal platform for growing small to medium-sized print shops; Since its debut at ISS Long Beach 2019, Kornit has delivered more than 70 units of the Atlas system for industrial-capacity DTG, expanding Kornit’s install base among current DTG users looking to increase their capacity in short order and some of the world’s leading brands, as they adopt on-demand sustainable garment decoration into their existing supply chains; Avalanche Poly Pro is the only digital DTG system designed specifically for dyed polyester and poly blends, offering nearly unlimited graphic detail and color gamut for popular 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. For example, Industry Print Solutions, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Ideal Images, based in Omaha, Nebraska, both partnered with Kornit to utilize the Poly Pro system.
