A worldwide market leader in digital textile printing, Kornit Digital, is to present its new high-productivity, low-cost-per-print Vulcan system at ITMA 2015, which is to be held in Milan. Kornit Digital caters directly to the needs of both designers and manufacturers.
Due to its extraordinary speed and ink efficiency, Kornit's new Vulcan is a digital platform that, for the first time rivals screen printing for mid-to-long runs. Vulcan users can reduce the cost per print by up to 40 per cent compared to the company's current systems. More textile printers and garment decorators can benefit from digital printing advantages, which include drastically reduced turnaround times, mass customisation capabilities and the elimination of set-up costs, coupled with significantly reduced labour and manufacturing space with Kornit Vulcan.
Kornit's VP of Product Development, Oded Kraft said that 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. 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, due to the continued trend towards large-scale manufacturing of relatively small batches of discrete designs, he said.
It is the most cost-efficient way to produce quantities beyond 100 shirts per print run, while being capable of customising each shirt, with its very low printing cost per print, he added. Besides, for existing custom decorators as well as web to print solution providers, the Vulcan offers an optimal solution. Kraft stated that the Vulcan was an exciting incremental step in their mission to deliver competitive digital solutions that eliminate environmental impact in an industry, which has struggled to meet global standards.
