Kornit adds fire to direct-to-garment market

Printing solutions provider Kornit Digital is set to create further competition in the direct-to-garment print market by launching its new Paradigm II digital add-on station to complement screen-printing carousels and oval machines

Due to be unveiled at this week’s Imprinted Sportswear Show in California, Kornit claims the new device will help printers achieve “unique garment applications, merging inexpensive white layers and effects from the screen process”.

The printer can also be used for just digital applications where samples and low volumes are required—opening up opportunities to screen-printers that had previously been closed. 

Kris Janowski, president of Hirsch International, the North American distributor for Kornit, comments: “Screen-printers are looking to digital for low volumes, very high quality of photographic images and customisation.

The Kornit Paradigm II is truly the game-changer, bringing the screen-printing world into the digital age

“Kornit’s innovative NeoPigment process now means that all the benefits of digital printing can be integrated into an existing analogue line for ultimate versatility. 

“We have been asked constantly for this technology, and now it has become reality. 

“The Kornit Paradigm II is truly the game-changer, bringing the screen-printing world into the digital age.”
