Kornit Digital Europe GmbH, Ratingen, Germany, has launched a new-generation discharge ink for the Kornit Avalanche DC Pro direct-to-garment printing system.
This solution creates unique digitally printed garments that have a natural feel, enabling garment decorators to expand into new markets and achieve higher revenues and margins, according to the company.
The new discharge ink is an improved, ready-to-use version that does not require special handling or mixing, and remains stable in the print heads for up to a year. The Kornit Avalanche DC Pro has two additional print heads by which the new discharge ink is applied to bleach the dye molecules of the dark garment, providing a base for CMYK printing and creating a natural feel for the finished product, according to the company. In combination with the discharge ink, the system can apply flexible amounts of white ink for full-opacity control.
Support for the new ink also will be available as an upgrade kit for Kornit Avalanche systems with Spectra Nova heads.
