March 31, 2016 – Kornit Digital, (NASDAQ:  KRNT), a worldwide market leader in digital textile printing technology, will  join forces with its long-time Japanese distribution partner, Uenoyama Kiko, to  showcase its new direct-to-garment printing system Kornit Storm Hexa at JIAM  2016 Osaka.
  Kornit’s family of Storm systems is the  best-selling industrial platform in the market, and it has earned a reputation  as solid, robust and reliable industrial system with high effective throughput.

The new Kornit Storm Hexa has been equipped  with state-of-the-art inkjet technology to turn it into the most advanced  industrial direct-to-garment printing system for medium-sized businesses. Its  features include a recirculating ink system to reduce ink consumption and to  further optimize reliability, as well as a doubled number of nozzles to  increase productivity of up to 40% over previous Storm configurations. The  system displayed at JIAM will be shown with its user interface localized to Japanese.

The new Storm Hexa is equipped with 16 print  heads and two additional colors for full CMYK, Red, Green and White support. It  is the system of choice for color conscious applications such as the production  of promotional and brand related garments. It can produce up to 170 garments  per hour in high productivity mode.

Kornit’s Storm Hexa is based on Kornit’s unique  NeoPigment™ printing process. It is equipped with advanced productivity  features such as a built-in pre-treatment system, a quick replace pallet  mechanism, a 4-liter bulk ink system, an integrated humidity system and a  backup power system for a quick and easy system start. All Kornit printing  systems are compatible with a variety of fabrics (cotton, polyester, blends,  denim, silk wool and more) and are geared towards industrial mass-customization  applications.

Eiji Uenoyama, Managing Director of Uenoyama Kiko, pointed out, “The  first Kornit system which we installed in Japan in 2006 was a Storm, and since  then, the Storm series has been the best-selling platform in Japan. Ten years  later, Kornit is now launching the Storm Hexa which has unique and outstanding  features particularly for the Japanese market such as a large color gamut and a  Japanese user interface. We believe that the Storm Hexa is the most suitable  industrial direct-to-garment system for Japanese customers.”

Guy Zimmerman, Kornit’s Vice President of  Marketing and Business Development, comments: “The Storm series of  direct-to-garment systems have been Kornit’s signature product for more than a  decade. Launching a new and improved generation of it is an important milestone  for us and a great opportunity to further improve the efficiency and  performance of our industrial systems. The new Storm configurations show  drastically improved throughput and further reductions in ink consumption, as  well as excellent print quality. They are perfect production tools for a broad  range of applications.”

Alongside the Storm Hexa, Kornit has also launched the Storm  1000 which is the standard configuration of the new product family and features  12 print heads in a CMYK and White configuration. It produces up to 170  garments per hour in high productivity mode, including inline pre-treatment. It  covers a print area of up to 50 x 70 cm / 20 x 28 in.
