Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer, Kornit Digital commented, “I am very pleased with our results for the quarter. The recent introduction of the Avalanche HD 6 System with its significant reduction in cost per print, improved hand-feel and improved print quality, combined with the continued shift towards print-on-demand, have created excellent business momentum. The retail shift towards shorter run production and the benefits offered by the HD6 are driving migration of more screen printers to our digital solution. To that end, we are well positioned to capture increased growth opportunities as our addressable market expands.”
