As Kornit’s customer base has grown, so has the value of a formalized user group. With the establishment of Kornit Konnections three years ago, the event has grown year over year, attracting 250 attendees for its Miami event at the end of April.

Sustainability was woven into discussions throughout the event, since it is a key concern for the textiles industry, and one Kornit and other manufacturers of digital equipment and services are working to address. Digital textile printing, of course, addresses many of the environmental issues associated with analog technologies by reducing waste, water usage, pollution, energy usage and more associated with traditional analog means of fabric printing and dyeing.

The Power of the Hybrid Model

“The smartest screen printers aren’t abandoning what they know—they’re evolving with a hybrid approach. By blending digital and screen printing, you get the best of both worlds: the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of screen for high-volume runs, and the flexibility and responsiveness of digital for everything else”.

“A hybrid workflow optimizes production capacity, reduces waste, and allows you to say “yes” to more opportunities—whether it’s a 10-piece custom order or a 10,000-piece campaign”. - Brendan Mangan, Business Director DTG EMEA at Kornit Digital
