Under the agreement, Kornit started supplying multiple Avalanche Hexa R-Series systems to Cimpress last year and will continue to do so in 2017. The new systems will be used in several international production facilities to boost Cimpress' production capacity as well as to expand the range of possible applications. The Avalanche Hexa R-Series is one of Kornit's most advanced and productive technology platforms and will empower Cimpress to digitally produce more colourful and sophisticated personalised products, on
a vast array of different garment types. This agreement between Cimpress and Kornit marks a significant milestone in the 10-year relationship between both companies. Cimpress started out with Kornit Storm systems in its production facilities and over the years has expanded the systems to multiple facilities throughout Cimpress' global manufacturing network as demand for custom apparel has grown.
Evert Karsen, senior director of global procurement at Cimpress, said: "As the world leader in mass customisation, we are committed to delivering an enormous variety of customised products to customers across the world. We are delighted with this partnership and know that Kornit's Avalanche Hexa R-Series
systems will deliver tangible benefits in terms of quality, flexibility and productivity, allowing us to continue to meet the growing and evolving needs of our customers." Gilad Yron, Kornit's executive vice president of global business added: "Since 2003, Kornit has been focusing on developing digital, highly productive tools for the mass customization business models of today. Key customers and partners like Cimpress have contributed valuable feedback, played a significant role in defining requirements and validated our commercial approach. We look forward to continuing the relationship and helping Cimpress to satisfy the ever-growing demand of their customers even better in the future."

When printers use SunTex Sonata DTE inks with a suitable textile fabric, they will have peace of mind that they are producing a sustainable product. “This certification shows that our SunTex ink range does not contain any volatile ingredients and demonstrates that the ink and ink manufacturing process will allow printers to achieve Oeko-Tex 100 print certification so long as they themselves print with these inks using typical dye sublimation transfer print papers, fabrics and finishing processes.” SunTex will also be entered into the Oeko-Tex Buying Guide, which allows brands, retailers and manufacturers to source sustainable and safer chemical products.
Sun Chemicalʼs SunTex Sonata DTE ink series is a six colour dye sublimation transfer inkjet ink series, compatible with Epson DX 4-7 print heads.
