Kornit 933 Passes Beta Site Period

July 31, 2008

Kornit Digital, Magshimim, Israel, recently announced that the Kornit 933 beta site period ended successfully, and the device is now available for purchase.

The Kornit 933 is a digital add-on station for screen printing carousels that was released to three beta sites near the end of 2007. Textile screen printer Kokolo, located in France, was among the testers.

"We are fully satisfied after several months of use," says Philippe Nogues, CEO of Kokolo. "We are now able to print pictures that we couldn't print in the past, enabling us to offer our customers innovative products featuring traditional and digital printing combinations. The machine's technical advances and printing speed will shortly enable it to compete more and more with traditional printing."

The Kornit 933 is based on the company's direct-to-garment printing technology, featuring tailor-made inks, and is adaptable to most automatic carousels that are currently on the market.
