Kornit introduces Storm Hexa digital printers at CITPE

The new Storm Hexa is equipped with 16 print heads and two additional colors for full CMYK, red, green and white support. It can produce up to 170 garments per hour in high productivity mode. Its features includes a recirculating ink system to reduce ink consumption and a doubled number of nozzles to increase productivity of up to 40 per cent over previous Storm configurations.

“The new Storm Hexa has been equipped with state-of-the-art technology to turn it into one of the most advanced industrial direct-to-garment printing systems. It delivers drastically improved throughput and further reductions in ink consumption, as well as excellent print quality. The simplified Chinese user interface was introduced in response to the local market's need. We believe that the Storm Hexa is a perfect production tool, and that it provides an unparalleled price-performance ratio for Chinese customers,” said Buck Kim, Kornit's president for Asia Pacific.

The Storm Hexa is based on the company's patented NeoPigment printing process which eliminates external pre-treatment steps and produces colourful and highly detailed prints on a variety of fabrics including cotton, polyester, silk, wool, denim and blends. (NA)
