Vulcan expands direct-to-garment  addressable market to include medium-to-long runs

  September 30, 2015 – Kornit Digital, (NASDAQ: KRNT), a worldwide market  leader in digital textile printing, has announced that it will present its new  high-productivity, low-cost-per-print Vulcan system at ITMA 2015, taking place  November 12-19 in Milan.

  Kornit’s new Vulcan is a digital platform that for the first time rivals  screen printing for mid-to-long runs, due to its extraordinary speed and ink  efficiency. Compared to the company’s current systems, Vulcan users can reduce  the cost per print by up to 40%. With the Kornit Vulcan, more textile printers  and garment decorators can benefit from digital printing advantages which include  drastically reduced turnaround times, mass customization capabilities and the  elimination of setup costs, coupled with significantly reduced labor and  manufacturing space.

  Kornit’s new direct-to-garment flagship will be the fastest  direct-to-garment printing system in the market, capable of producing up to 250  high quality garments per hour, with dark and light garments printed at the  same speed. This marks a significant increase of productivity at more than  double the effective throughput of previous Kornit systems. The Vulcan will produce  excellent photorealistic quality, featuring 60 new-generation print-heads with  an advanced recirculating ink system in a six-color-plus-white configuration. The  system caters for multiple print sizes and configurations with a maximum print  size of 70x100 cm / 27.5x39.5 in. Like all other Kornit systems, the Vulcan was  developed around the company’s unique NeoPigmentTM patented printing  process. Kornit’s own water-based inks work on a variety of fibers (natural,  man-made and blends) and allow for inline-pretreatment. For the new system, the  ink will be shipped in 4 liter bottles. After printing, garments are cured with  a standard hot-air dryer. The inks are Oeko-Tex 100 certified and GOTS  pre-approved.

  Oded Kraft, Kornit’s VP of Product Development, commented: “The Kornit  Vulcan significantly expands the addressable market for digital  direct-to-garment printing by offering a true alternative to large scale screen  printing manufacturing. Given the continued trend towards large scale  manufacturing of relatively small batches of discrete designs, Kornit made the  decision to create a first of a kind versatile system able to run small, medium  and large batches at extremely high speeds and with an easy-to-use user interface.  With its incredibly low printing cost per print, it is the most cost-efficient  way to produce quantities beyond 100 shirts per print run, while being capable  of customizing each shirt. The Vulcan offers an optimal solution for existing  custom decorators as well as web to print solution providers. The Vulcan is an  exciting incremental step in our mission to deliver competitive digital  solutions that eliminate environmental impact in an industry which has struggled  to meet global standards”.

  Kornit will be launching multiple beta sites and evaluations of the  system over the coming months and expects general market availability by the  middle of 2016.

  The new system will be presented as a  technology preview at ITMA during scheduled demonstrations. Kornit welcomes registrations  either online at http://kornit.insiders.website/itma/ or during the show.  Also on the booth will be Kornit’s 1.80 m roll-to-roll printer Allegro which  allows for the shortest time from file to finished fabric, an Avalanche Hexa  six-colors-plus-white direct-to-garment printer and an Avalanche DC Pro, the  only digital, industrial discharge printing system.

  Booth number: Hall 18, B 113.
