Kornit Digital has won the 2020 EDP award by the European Digital Press Association (EDP). The company’s NeoPigment Robusto Softener solution, which ensures superior hand feel for substrates imprinted using the Kornit Presto system for roll-to-roll, direct-to-fabric digital production, was named ‘Best Coating and Varnish’ in the Consumables category.
The EDP awards are Europe’s only technology assessment in the industry and an open competition for all products announced and launched in the market within a year. The winners are selected by a commission of experts (the EDP Technical Committee), which evaluate the submitted products according to criteria such as innovation, quality, performance, and cost. Due to these strict criteria, there are no voting or other public votes. It is about technical criteria, not popularity. This is the only way EDP can guarantee manufacturers’ achievements in developing new technologies will be recognised, according to Kornit.Kornit Digital has won the 2020 EDP award by the European Digital Press Association (EDP).
