At FESPA Digital in Amsterdam, digital textile market leader – Kornit Digital unveiled new industrial-grade direct-to-garment printing systems as well as a broad range of applications for the garment, apparel and textile industries .
During series of meetings with customers, WHERE To Print magazine had a brief chat with Kornit Digital Director of Marketing EMEA – Oliver Luedtke on digital textile printing technology as well as Kornit Digital solutions as market leader. Excerpts:
What are Kornit Digital innovations at this year’s FESPA?
Fespa is an important exhibition for us that is why we at Kornit Digital have been a long-standing sponsoring partner of Fespa. At this year’s show, we are the Fespa Textile Corporate Partner. We have the best industrial and commercial printing solutions for the garment, apparel and textile industries like The Breeze, The Storm configurations like The Storm 1000, The Storm Hexa and the Kornit Avalanche 1000. It all depends on the market because our products are customised to meet our customers’ market requirements.
What’s your recommendation for the Nigerian market?
As I said, it depends on the customer and the market. But when we talk about small to mid-sized business, I will say The Breeze. It’s robust, compact and engineered to combine high-end technology and performance. This innovative garment printer is engineered specifically for small to mid-sized commercial digital t-shirt printing businesses, and it’s very affordable. The compactly designed portable Kornit Breeze is designed with an integrated automatic pre-treatment, degassing and maintenance system. It provides the ideal Direct To Garment (DTG) solution to new or expanding businesses entering the digital t-shirt and garment print market because the Kornit Breeze arrives at your door ready for ecommerce and web-to-print, making it the right choice for both online and retail shops. It can be connected to any computer with a USB port and requires only one operator. Print on dark garments faster and more efficiently with our one-pass white and CMYK printing process. T-shirt printers looking for the perfect balance between quality, budget and good return on investment will find it in Kornit’s Breeze solution.
What are your plans for the Nigerian market?
With our new partnership with Technology Global Services Limited, we have great plans for Nigeria. Based on our success story with Digital Reality Print Limited – where we have one of our machines supported by Technology Global – we plan to install four or five more machines this year. But the most important thing for us now is our very good partnership with Technology Global that is trustworthy and professional. We are going to work together to identify various opportunities in the market.
Thank you for your time
