Kornit Brings Highest Speeds to the Direct-to-Garment Market With the new Avalanche 1000

Fastest model takes single operator printing "to an incredible new level"

ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Kornit Digital [http://www.kornit-digital.com ], the leading manufacturer and
innovator of digital textile printing, will launch a new addition to the Avalanche product
family at Fespa 2013. Designed for 24/7 mass production operation, the Avalanche 1000 is
the fastest direct-to-garment printer ever made by the company. Besides its outstanding
productivity, it features new piezo-electric print-heads, a back-up battery system and an
integrated professional humidity system for greater efficiency.

    The Avalanche 1000's enhanced speed and performance characteristics enable a single
operator to produce printed garments and fabric cuts at exceptional speeds, making it the
most productive direct-to-garment printer in the market. In common with all other machines
from Kornit that print on a large variety of textiles using one ink set, the Avalanche
1000 utilises the company's NeoPigment[TM] process which is far more environmentally
friendly and efficient than machines that require additional pre-treatment and drying
processes before being ready for print.

    "The Avalanche 1000 has taken digital direct-to-garment printing to an incredible new
level," says Jay Butterfield, owner of Silk Screen Ink in Storm Lake, Iowa and beta
customer for the new printer. "Since partnering with Kornit for Avalanche 1000 beta
testing, Scott Hopper, VP of Operations for Silk Screen Ink, has put the machine through
rigid evaluation over the past six months. We are proud to have assisted in the
development of this remarkable solution. Just like any other Kornit machine, we can
produce the same wide variety of applications, but now enormously faster. A single
operator can produce the highest quality prints at a truly impressive speed that meets the
demands of our growing customer base and business."

    Designed for the mass production of garments, Kornit's Avalanche 1000 has dual pallet
industrial production capability, and is a very robust platform designed for heavy duty
use. The print-head array, equipped with 24 Spectra Polaris heads, generates very high
speeds and excellent print quality. An integrated humidifying system makes the machine
resistant to the daily variations in room climate, and a back-up battery system allows the
main power to be turned off when the machine is not being used. It features 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. It prints up to 300
light and 170 dark garments per hour. With all those new features, the Avalanche 1000 is
perfectly suited to be used all day, every day and for all volumes.

    "We are truly excited about the release of the new Avalanche 1000," states Ofer
Ben-Zur, CEO of Kornit Digital. "It has been designed from the ground up to meet our most
demanding customers' needs for a robust, mass-production, 24/7 operational solution. Based
on customers' requirements and utilising Kornit's ten years of field experience, the
Avalanche 1000 will provide printers with the lowest operational cost and superlative
quality."

    Another new member of the Avalanche product family will be the Kornit Avalanche Hexa,
making its first public appearance at Fespa. The Avalanche Hexa is a six-colour
direct-to-garment printer featuring additional red and green channels with an extended
gamut for improved colour saturation and spot colour handling, making it the ideal
direct-to-garment solution for the fashion, sportswear and promotional materials printing
markets.
