Kornit Digital announced the release of its new MAX technology, breaking new ground in on-demand production to deliver the highest retail-quality results and versatility via previously unattainable print applications. MAX technology surpasses industry norms for print results, to deliver the highest retail quality on multiple fabric types, establishing a new quality standard for the fashion and apparel industry. A key feature of Kornit’s MAX technology is XDi, which delivers 3D capabilities for new, high-density graphic decoration that can simulate embroidery and vinyl heat transfer in a single, waste-free process. This patent-pending technology allows fulfillers and brands to expand their offerings to include new-to-market, innovative decorations, incorporating simulated embroidery and heat transfer applications – without the inefficiencies and cost of operating analog technologies. The first iteration of MAX technology is now commercially available in the Kornit Atlas MAX, a carbon-neutral, industrial-scale DTG production system, providing unsurpassed retail quality, exceptional color-matching capabilities, and a wide, vivid color gamut, with exceptional durability. The Atlas MAX is delivered with the new XDi technology built in, for 3D printing capabilities. An upgrade to the installed base of Kornit Atlas systems will be available during the first quarter of 2022. Kornit also debuted the ActiveLoad Automation technology, a new robotic system to significantly ease the burden of manual and labor-intensive media handling in the textile decoration industry. This increases total output per shift while ensuring minimal downtime and exceptional reliability. The new patent-pending ActiveLoad Automation technology ensures continuous production and consistency, while decreasing human error and fatigue, regardless of employee experience and training, for ultimate results and best operational efficiency.
