Kornit Digital announces the general availability of its field-proven Kornit Apollo direct-to-garment (DTG) platform. Brands, retailers, and screen printers can now embrace the power of high-throughput, automated digital production to shorten lead times, reduce total cost of ownership, and improve margins for short-to-medium run production, says the company.

Successful field implementations underscore the transformative nature of Apollo for on-demand sustainable production at industrial scale. Apollo has the capacity to decorate more than 1.5 million garments annually with a single operator. Backed by an advanced, proprietary automation system, the platform integrates versatile smart drying, concurrently managing various garment types with proficiency of up to 400 garments per hour. The Apollo system is flexible, with the ability to scale on-demand and handle both bulk and one-offs. The heart of Apollo’s power lies in the patented MAX technology, which ensures color accuracy to PANTONE and spot colors, elevating the quality to its maximum, reports Kornit.

According to Scott Valancy, COO at T-Shirt Central, one of Apollo’s beta sites, “Kornit is a long-time partner, and we were happy to be an early adopter of the Apollo system. Much like other Kornit solutions, we’re very pleased with the performance of the system. Our team was not only impressed by its performance throughout the peak season, but also its ability to easily connect across our automation system to deliver vibrant, high-quality prints. Apollo enabled us to easily meet increased demand with 24/7 availability without missing a beat. Looking ahead, we’re excited to take the next step with Kornit, leveraging on-demand production and industrial capacity to fuel our business growth.”

“Kornit Apollo is the most advanced and proven solution on the market allowing digital production to go mainstream — creating real business opportunities for brands, fulfillers, and retailers,” said Ronen Samuel, chief executive officer at Kornit Digital, in a press release. “First announced last year, Apollo came with the promise of transforming a legacy industry that was far too complex and slow. With successful implementations at such high-profile customers, it’s clear Apollo is delivering on its promise.”
