Integrated garment production

Kornit digital print systems for apparel at production scale

Evaluate DTG and DTF routes through substrate behavior, pretreatment strategy, curing demand, operator flow, and repeatable output—not headline speed alone.

DTG printer and garment platen detail
One workflow, linked decisions

Design the cell around the garment

01

Fabric-first profiling

Confirm fiber blend, dye migration risk, hand-feel target, and wash requirement before locking artwork or ink laydown.

02

Pretreatment control

Document coat weight, drying condition, humidity, and dwell time so white ink adhesion is evaluated under repeatable conditions.

03

Measured cure windows

Validate press temperature at the garment surface, not only the controller setpoint, then record time and pressure with the approved recipe.

04

Operator-ready handoff

Translate color targets, maintenance intervals, and rejection criteria into a shift checklist that production teams can audit.

Qualification matrix

What to verify before a model decision

Published product data is the starting point. Final settings depend on artwork coverage, garment chemistry, environment, and the selected curing route.

Job mixRecord artwork size, white coverage, garment color, placements, and changeover frequency.
Shift targetTest sustained output across a representative shift, including loading and scheduled maintenance.
Color methodUse a controlled illuminant, approved reference, instrument readings, and documented tolerance.
DurabilityDefine wash cycle, detergent, temperature, drying method, and acceptance threshold.
Facility reviewConfirm power, ventilation, humidity control, compressed air where applicable, and service access.
Curing routeMeasure actual textile surface temperature and document pressure and dwell time.
Application cells

Four production contexts, four operating priorities

01

On-demand fashion

Frequent art changes, short runs, dark garments, and color consistency across replenishment orders.

02

Licensed merchandise

Approval-controlled color, audit trails, repeat graphics, and defined wash-performance protocols.

03

Web-to-print fulfillment

Automated job intake, barcode discipline, exception handling, and predictable pack-out timing.

04

Transfer production

Film handling, powder and cure coordination, transfer settings, and shelf-life verification.

4

Bring a representative garment

Turn a demo into a reproducible production trial

Share the actual fabric, artwork, planned run length, target color tolerance, curing equipment, and expected wash protocol. The resulting brief can separate machine capability from process variables and facility assumptions.

  • Define the acceptance method before printing
  • Time the complete operator cycle, not only print motion
  • Record pretreatment and curing conditions
