Kornit Micro Runs

The rapid fashion life cycle has gone from short to shorter

Seasonal changes are giving way to inter seasonal shifts just as trends and styles fracture into increasingly divers market segments. Consumers are visualizing personalized fashion. Pre and post production steps are getting integrated allowing a single ink type and single operator to meet those demands. Now, for example, a single Kornit Allegro lets the entire manufacturing process happen in one step. It essentially consolidates the entire textile industry into one machine”.

Sustainable Printing?

Printing sustainability is a moving target complicating customer relations. On the surface, each environmental improvement offers new facts requiring validation.

   In our politically correct world, sustainability can be an item on the clients checklist. An item they are afraid to open up and drill down on. After all, it wasn't that long ago 'sustainability' meant a printers ability to produce the same quality run time after time in a profitable way. The improvements to environmentally sustainable printing come at us faster and faster. Understanding and evaluating, between fact and hype, is our printing industry's challenge.
   There will be environmentalist aware clients who come at the issue using words like 'climate change', 'renewable', 'recycle' or even 'fast fashion'. Each will be looking for confirmation that their goods contribute to improvements, from their perspective.
   Sustainability is a journey, where what has meaning to that customer is their best option for the road to now be travelled together.

The Blackest Black

The impact of no colour can be breath taking in an unexpected way.

   A visitor viewing the new BMW coated in Vantablack (made from a pigment the uses tiny carbon nanotubes to absorb 99.965% of the light) reacted with... "It almost broke my brain. It has no reflection, no contours. Its like part of the world has been Photoshopped away. Stare at it long enough, and it feels like your soul has been sucked out of your eyeballs." 'The car itself appears two dimensional. Only details like tires, grill and windows offer visual clues to the true shape of the car...components simply seem to be floating in space'
   We first reported the Vantablack experience in Vol 104 of The Docket, in 'The Black Hole' article about a pavilion at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic. Similar reactions included; "darkest building on earth", 'almost impossible for the human eye to perceive the shape' and "It changes as you approach it. From far away you see it as a surface of blackness, it just looks like a void,"
   Black with 1% or less reflection presents a new and interesting end of the black use spectrum.

Screen Printing Fine Art

Each handmade printing of fine art, done manually, one image at a time, is considered an

original work of art, not a reproduction. Each impression, of that art, prints a unique version. The labour creates its desired effect with the applications mix of ink colours, alignment and density making each an original work. Each created by manual application of squeegee to screen and ink to produce that visual and tactile offering. Consumers often misunderstand the print numbering that identifies each unique impression. They see something like 4/25 and assume it to be better than or printed prior to 15/25. Reality however reveals that 4/25 was the fourth impression "signed" while the order they were printed in is unlikely the same. Acutally, for consumers of the art, it may very well be that the last impressions produced are of superior quality based on the result of what was learned and earned in printing the impressions before that last one.
