General manager, James Miller, said: “Screens were no longer economical, and Kornit provided the reliable, robust solution and support we needed. The fi nished garment has terrifi c hand feel, for a better product that’s easy to sell to our customers.

Mike Kent, co-owner of Kitlocker, said: “The Kornit Avalanche PolyPro allows for far superior quality of fi nish for embellishment compared to traditional print techniques. When we were shopping around for alternatives, it was obvious the sort of single pass, and its ability to print on polyester, was certainly market-leading – there was no alternative that could do that. The machines are quick and reliable, with very little downtime, which is massively important to me as a business owner.”
