Printing on the vest was the challenge for one of Kornit's most innovative printing systems, particularly because of its uneven surfaces in the seam and zipper areas. Kornit's direct-to-garment printing systems are equipped with an adjustable head height mechanism where users can easily adjust the system's print heads to accommodate the thickness of the printing substrates and output sharp and fine art designs precisely.
Kornit's Storm Hexa printer has been equipped with state-of-the-art inkjet technology to turn it into the most advanced industrial direct-to-garment printing systems for medium-sized businesses. Its features include 16 print heads and two additional colours for full CMYK, red, green and white support to cover wider colour gamut. It has a recirculating ink system to reduce ink consumption and to further optimise reliability, and a higher number of nozzles to increase productivity of up to 40 per cent over previous Storm configurations.
Based on years of textile printing industry experience the Israel based company produces its own NeoPigment inks which bring users a host of benefits such as the widest colour gamut in the industry, ultimate white ink performance and excellent results on a variety of fabrics, including polyester.
