FESPA Review Kornit Digital
At this yearʼs exhibition Kornit unveiled its Storm HD6 direct to garment printing system. This printer will become commercially available later this year.
The Storm HD6 reduces ink consumption and cost per print by approximately 30% compared to the Storm Hexa. It has six colour channels (CMYK, red, green), plus white. Kornit also showcased the cost-saving HD technology with the Avalanche HD6 and neon inks on the Allegro system.

Neenah
Digital sublimation transfer paper manufacturer Neenah used FESPA to launch two new sublimation papers; Xtreme Dry and Xtreme Sports. Xtreme Sports was developed in response to the rising demand for a sublimation paper suitable for industrial sportswear applications. It features fast drying, brilliant colours and smooth runnability properties. Xtreme Dry is designed for high productive printers and introduces a revolutionary drying speed. Because it is available in rolls of up to 3.2m in width, it is suitable for the soft signage market.
Neenah’s stand at FESPA Mimaki
