Presto MAX is designed to address these challenges, offering a sustainable, single- step process meeting the highest quality standards of the world’s top fashion and home décor brands. Powered by Kornit MAX technology, the sustainable, on-demand textile decoration system allows producers to create more with less, shrink carbon footprints, and tap into new markets. “When we fi rst unveiled our industry-
leading Presto MAX in 2021, the intent was to change the world of fashion and textiles forever – tapping into the power of on-demand digital decoration to set new standards for sustainability and creative fulfi llment,” said Ronen Samuel, chief executive offi cer at Kornit Digital. “We’re proud to highlight how Kornit anticipates the needs of an industry facing new opportunities sparked by digital transformation, while addressing mandates to cut waste and overproduction.
“Continuous innovation across our production systems, as well as supporting automation technologies, software, and partnerships, ensure customers achieve the highest possible return on investment, receive best- in-class support for their operational and business needs, and prepare to capitalise on trends shaping fashion and textiles for years to come.”
