Kornit Digital has announced a new series of digital inks that is designed for use with all of its direct-to-garment systems. Being previewed at Fespa 2015, the new NeoPigmentTM Pure formulation is designed as an organic evolution of the company’s existing NeoPigment process and brings users a host of benefits including increased vivacity, an improved hand feel and a more opaque and smooth reproduction of white.

Kornit Digital’s NeoPigment Pure ink comprises CMYK plus red, green and white and is formulated to supersede the company’s existing ink families by providing colour standards that are closer to ideal LAB values. Improved overall smoothness resulting in an increased gamut of more than 15%, is accompanied by a deeper black (K), while the white ink has greater brightness and opacity with greater coverage. The inks are suitable for use on virtually all fabric types and are fully compliant with OekoTex 100 and is GOTS pre-approved.

“Kornit Digital’s policy is never to stand still but to continue with developments across all of its technologies in order to bring customers and new users the best pigmented ink technologies to combine with their Kornit direct-to-garment printers,” states Guy Zimmerman, Kornit’s executive vice president of marketing and business development. “Our new NeoPigment Pure inks respond to customer demand for refined characteristics that we’re able to offer with our NeoPigment process, and we now have the widest colour gamut in the industry, a velvety touch and the ultimate in white ink performance.”

Kornit’s Avalanche portfolio are industrial inks suitable for high volume solutions, while the Kornit Storm II, has been designed for single-operator use and the entry-level and small business Kornit Breeze. Kornit’s has also launched its Paradigm II printer integrated with a screen printing carousel and the Allegro 1.8m high-speed roll-to-roll fabric system.
