Kornit Digital, a global leader in digital textile printing technology, has launched the Avalanche R-Series with ink recirculation system. Kornit’s Avalanche platform is the company’s flagship direct-to-garment printing system. Recent configurations were the Avalanche Hexa with six-colour-plus white support and the Avalanche 1000 for uncompromised speed.

Both systems are commercially available from January 31, 2017 in a new ‘R-Series’ version, with a recirculating ink system as the primary innovation. This technology, which Kornit already uses in the Storm series, the Allegro and the Vulcan, optimises print quality, reliability, and ink efficiency of the new Avalanches. As a result, users of the Avalanche R-Series benefit from up to 20 per cent ink savings and faster system availability after the start-up process.

The new R-Series versions will replace the current systems. The capabilities of the R-Series are also available for existing Avalanche Hexa and Avalanche 1000 installations as an upgrade, from January 31, 2017.
The Kornit Avalanche HexaR-Series includes six colour channels plus white, for a wider gamut and improved spot colour handling. Users can easily reproduce the true colours of licensed sports teams and accurately match corporate logos with fiery reds, warm yellows, deep blues and greens, vivid purples, and many more.

Designed for the mass production of garments, Kornit’s Avalanche 1000 R-Series has dual pallet industrial production capability, and is a very robust platform designed for heavy duty use. With unique double bridge architecture, the white and the colour print phases can happen in parallel, for optimised and unique dark garment efficiency. The system generates very high speeds and excellent print quality. It prints up to 220 light and 160 dark garments per hour. The Avalanche 1000 R-Series is perfectly suited to be used all day, every day and for all volumes.

Both systems feature a print area of up to 90 x 60cm and 12cm wide pass printing. An automatic height adjustment mechanism allows printing over buttons, zippers, and other protruding objects.

With the NeoPigment process, Kornit users benefit from the advantages of state-of-the art pigment ink technology, based on more than 1,200 installations globally and 14 years of experience. Suitable for printing on multiple fabric types, its versatility is unmatched. NeoPigment prints have an excellent hand feel, a wide gamut of bright and intense colours, as well as long-term durability. (GK)
