Kornit Digital, a global market leader in digital textile printing innovation, has announced the worldwide commercial availability of the new Kornit Storm HD6 direct-to-garment printing system. The company began global shipments of the new systems on October 1, 2018.

An impressive 150 HD systems and upgrades were ordered since Kornit Digital released the Avalanche HD in the first quarter of 2018.

Kornit now globally launches the Storm HD6, allowing mid-size businesses to benefit from high-definition image quality and improved hand feel, as well as a substantial reduction in cost per print.

The HD advantage Kornit’s HD systems, now comprising the Kornit Avalanche HD6, Kornit Avalanche HDK and Kornit Storm HD6, enable new levels of print quality, well suitable for the fashion and retail markets. Kornit’s NeoPigmentTM Rapid ink, specifically developed for Kornit’s HD technology, offers an improved hand feel, as well as increased opacity and saturation of white ink. The print quality is further enhanced by ColorGATE’s Professional RIP solution, adding advanced color management and screening capabilities, improved white base creation and pre-defined color libraries for ultimate color matching.

Digital benefits match current short-run trends

Kornit’s HD print engine, combined with the NeoPigmentTM Rapid ink, also leads to significant reductions in ink consumption and cost per print. 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 Kornit Avalanche HD6 was launched in the first quarter of 2018. Since its commercial release, no less than 150 Avalanche HD systems and upgrades were ordered worldwide, including multi-million orders by several customers.
The proven track record of its heavy-duty, highly industrial Avalanche platform, brings Kornit to integrate the HD technology into the Storm platform which represents the mid-productivity segment of the company’s industrial direct-to-garment printing product range. The Kornit 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 Kornit Storm HD6 will reduce the ink consumption by approximately 30% compared to the current Kornit Storm Hexa, – meaning higher print quality at a lower cost per print.
