Kornit Digital has announced details about its participation at Heimtextil 2017. For the first time, Kornit will bring an actual Allegro system to the show, in order to demonstrate this  comprehensive solution for custom-made furniture. This will be done with a live end-to-end production of digitally printed home textiles, without any pre-treatment or finishing steps.

The Kornit Allegro includes pre-treatment and full finishing within a seven meters production line. Its one-step process, combined with the impressive color gamut of Kornit’s NeoPigment inks, represents a real opportunity for textile designers. It 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. Kornit Allegro’s single step, multi-fabric technology enables new business models around the production of special collections and custom-made home textiles.

“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.” Kornit Digital’s presence at Heimtextil 2017 (in Frankfurt, Germany, from January 10 to 13) 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, thereby representing a fully digital, local production setup to drive the new business models.
