Users of the Avalanche R-Series stand to benefit from up to 20% ink savings and faster system availability after the start-up process
The new Avalanche R-Series with ink recirculation system from Kornit Digital promises to offer higher reliability and reduced cost per print.
Kornit’s Avalanche direct-to-garment printing systems, the Avalanche Hexa and Avalanche 1000 are now commercially available in new ‘R-Series’ versions, with a recirculating ink system. The new 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.
The R-series technology has previously been available in Kornit’s Storm series as well as the Allegro and the Vulcan.
The Kornit Avalanche Hexa R-Series includes six colour channels plus white, for a wider gamut and improved spot colour handling.
Designed for the mass production of garments, Kornit’s Avalanche 1000 R-Series has dual pallet industrial production capability and prints up to 220 light and 160 dark garments per hour. Using double bridge architecture, the white and the colour print phases can happen in parallel.
Both systems feature a print area of up to 90 x 60 cm and 12 cm wide pass printing. An automatic height adjustment mechanism allows printing over buttons, zippers and other protruding objects.
‘The new Avalanche R-Series is a great example how a proven flagship product can be optimised towards even higher print quality, reliability and cost efficiency,’ stated Guy Zimmerman, Kornit Digital’s vice president of marketing and business development.
