Developing, manufacturing and marketing industrial and commercial printing solutions for the garment, apparel and fabric industry, Kornit Digital Printer has been awarded the OekoTex Standard 100 Class II certification for its unique discharge solution, currently used in the Kornit Avalanche DC Pro Digital Printer. The Avalanche DC Pro Revolutionary Digital Discharge Solution positions Kornit as the worldwide leader of the Industrial Direct to Garment market. The Class II certification is specifically for products with direct skin contact like T-shirts, blouses and underwear, and ensures that the printer uses skin-friendly chemicals and inks for printing on apparel and textile products.
Designed for mass production, up to 300 shirts per hour, Avalanche DC Pro has a new discharge facility for printing on dark garments. The Avalanche DC Pro incorporates two additional print heads that use a discharge chemical which removes the dye molecules of the dark garment, providing a smooth base for CMYK printing without the need for White Ink, which creates a “thick” feel on the design.
Printing with the Avalanche DC Pro can be done with use of full discharge, or with the use of full or partial White Ink coverage. These three options provide unparallel flexibility for the amount and use of discharge. Both full and partial discharge options allow printing without the use of pre-treatment at all, saving time and costs and allowing faster turnaround. With its ability to produce garments with a good hand feel, the Avalanche DC Pro is the perfect solution for vendors wanting to enter the fashion industry.
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a world-wide, best-known independent product label for textiles that have been tested for harmful substances. The material with this testing seal has been passed through comprehensive laboratory tests, and poses no health risks for the user.
