Kornit Digital, a leading digital textile printer manufacturer, has unveiled a new direct-to-garment (DTG) screen printer ‘Avalanche HD6’. The new HD printing technology is the successor of the company’s Avalanche Hexa printer.
The newly launched printer is suitable for the mass production of garments with a print run of up to 500 pieces.
Avalanche HD6 is studded with the NeoPigment Rapid ink (with 4l ink containers) which is said to reduce ink consumption by 30% as compared to the current technology (R-Series), therefore, the cost of printing can be reduced significantly.
According to Kornit, the sustainable ink meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and GOTS V5. It is developed especially for HD technology which offers a range of brand and spot colour matching; enhanced white ink saturation and increased opacity.
The HD6 model also comes equipped with six colour channels: CMYK, Green and Red.
As far as print quality is concerned, the printer has RIP solution, powered by ColorGATE, which advances the colour management and improves screening capabilities.
The enhanced colour system enables the users to simplify reproduction of the true colours of licensed sports teams as well as to match logos having a range of colours.
Furthermore, Kornit’s Avalanche HD6 has a patented dual pallet and dual bridge which are the robust platforms for heavy-duty industrial use.
Omer Kulka, Vice President, Marketing and Product Strategy, Kornit Digital, commented, “The demand for customised garments, emergence of online and direct-to-customer models of business and inclination of consumers towards shorter delivery times has encouraged Kornit Digital to come up with an excellent and profitable alternative for print runs of one to 500 pieces with quick turnaround times.”
Kornit Digital will showcase the new Avalanche HD6 at the ISS Long Beach show, Germany from January 19 to 21, 2018.
