Kornit Digital provides production technology for Project Runway
Kornit Digital's digital roll-to-roll printing sys- tem played a critical role in an episode of Project Runway. In this American reality competition show, fashion designers com- pete to create the best fashion pieces with a limited amount of time and resources. The episode, called Sink or Swim, aired on 6 Oc- tober.
In this episode, the challenge was to create a swimsuit and cover-up design. The candi- dates were told that they can create a cus- tom design which would be printed and returned to them the following morning. The technology partners enabling the fast turn- around was Kornit Digital and Kornit user Papilio Prints in New Jersey.
The production technology used is called Kornit Allegro. With its print width of 1.8m, it is the world’s only single-step digital textile printing system designed for high-speed, end-to-end production. It uses Kornit’s patented NeoPigmentTM printing process.

The system features an integrated pretreat- ment technology and works on a variety of fabrics, both natural and man-made fibers and blends. It is the only industrial textile
printer available today that integrates all production steps in a single, integrated pro- duction line; which removes the need for complicated pre- and post-treatments such as steaming and washing.
T3 exhibition systems add strength to A/W Fashion show
Tecna Display's T3 system helped ex- hibition display company Golden Strength, to design visuals for the CabiScoop fall fashion show in July at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre, Massachusetts.
Golden Strength were asked to create an event display that would give at- tendees and the public a sneak pre- view of what was to come in the actual show. This was no easy task consid- ering the amount of fashion lines and accessories that were to be show- cased, said the company.
Working together with Tecna Display, Golden Strength used a variety of dis- play techniques to create a "unique and eye catching visual show to excite and thrill the audience".
Tecna Display's modular T3 system allowed Golden Strength to create a solution for fashion designer Cabi.
Philippe Van Ameyde from Tecna Dis- play said: "The entire display of 14 graphic stands, two floating walls and

two encased pedestals was built in the lobby of the convention centre. The design allowed Cabi to use huge stun- ning visuals on the stands, clothed mannequins in the encased pedestals and to display all manner of products with the floating walls.
"Using a combination of our steel sided fusion tubing and connectors for the framework, the magnetic strips at- tached to the large graphic panels al- lowed for the graphics to be mounted securely and without hassle. This was a simple yet effective method and al- lowed for the wide array of displays to be constructed flawlessly."
Once the event was over, all the com- ponents packed quickly and efficiently back into the travel cases and stored for their next job and venue.
