Kornit Allegro’s single step, multi-fabric technology enables new business models around the production of special collections and custom-made home textiles

Kornit Digital, a global market leader in digital textile printing technology, has announced details of its participation in Heimtextil 2017. For the first time, Kornit will bring an actual Allegro system to the show, in order to demonstrate live end-to-end production of digitally printed home textiles, without any pre-treatment or finishing steps.

Kornit Digital’s presence in Hall 6.0, booth B15, will feature various exhibits, samples and live prints that show the potential of digital one-step production for designers and producers of furniture, with a focus on custom made products. Based on the company’s ‘Allegro & Cut’ concept, this one-step workflow can be expanded by integrated workflow steps, such as pattern integration, nesting and digital cutting in order to represent a fully digital, local production setup to drive the new business models.

The Kornit Allegro is the only true digital solution for textile printing that includes pre-treatment and full finishing within a seven meters production line. Its unique one-step process combined with the impressive color gamut of Kornit's NeoPigment^TM inks represents a real opportunity for textile designers and enables them to control their prints and colors while offering their customers short runs and customization.

With textile production now available in a completely dry single step solution, digital fabric printing is returning to western countries as former challenges, such as end-to-end costs, pollution, regulations, health and safety, and space can be addressed.

“Over the years, we have steadily increased our Heimtextil presence as this event is one of the most significant platforms for us to meet manufacturers, retailers and designers from all around the world,” stated Guy Zimmerman, Kornit Digital’s Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “Kornit’s Allegro brings new business opportunities to the home textile industry. It is a true stand-alone roll-to-roll system that prints direct onto a broad variety of fabrics with vivid results, accurate colors, an excellent hand and good durability. It is particularly suitable for the production of special collections and all applications that require fast turnaround times.”

Heimtextil, which takes place in Frankfurt, Germany, from 10 to 13 January 2017, is the world’s leading exhibition for textile and garment manufacturing.
