Israel-based Kornit Digital, which makes industrial digital printing technologies for the garment, apparel and textile industries, has launched a single-step solution for direct-to-fabric printing.

The company says its new Kornit Presto technology eliminates the need for pre- and post-treatment of fabric and allows for high-quality printing on a broad variety of fabric types and applications. It also does not consume water in the printing process, making it an environmentally-friendly option for direct-to-fabric textile printing.
