Kornit Digital has announced the introduction of the new Storm HD6 direct-to-garment printing system. The system will be unveiled at the Kornit stand at FESPA Berlin, with commercial availability expected for Q4 2018.
Following the successful launch of the Avalanche HD6, Kornit will implement the HD technology in the Storm platform as well, announcing the Storm HD6. Kornit’s HD print engine, combined with the NeoPigment Rapid ink, leads to significant reductions in ink consumption and cost per print, the company noted.
The new cost per print levels make the new HD systems an attractive choice for screen printers and digital printers for print runs between one and 500 copies. The new systems, now comprising the Avalanche HD6, Avalanche HDK and Storm HD6, are running with 4l bulk ink containers of Kornit’s NeoPigment Rapid ink. This ink, which has been specifically developed for Kornit’s HD technology, offers an improved gamut for spot and brand color matching, increased opacity and saturation of the white ink, as well as improved hand feel – an important requirement by screen printers.
“The retail meltdown in textile and fashion continues,” said Omer Kulka, Kornit Digital’s VP of marketing and product strategy. “Based on the early success of the Avalanche HD series, we are now expanding the cost-saving HD technology to the mid-range Storm platform, providing access to state-of-the art direct-to-garment technology also to businesses with smaller throughput requirements.”
The Storm HD6 includes six color channels (CMYK, Red, Green) plus white, for a wider gamut and improved spot color matching. Users can easily reproduce the true colors of licensed sports teams and accurately match corporate logos.
The Storm HD6 is planned to be commercially available during the fourth quarter of 2018.
