Kornit Rolls Out New Orion & Titan Curing Technology
Kornit Digital’s new Smart Curing solutions include Orion for mid-level production and Titan for higher-capacity volumes. Both are based on technology from Kornit’s 2022 acquisition of textile dryer manufacturer Tesoma and engineered for compatibility with Kornit’s Atlas MAX systems.
Kornit Digital, a market leader in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, unveiled its new Smart Curing and Rapid SizeShifter solutions at TecStyle Visions 2023.
“Kornit Smart Curing is an intelligent and adaptive solution significantly streamlining curing processes while delivering consistently high-quality results," the company said.

“Kornit’s new energy-efficient Smart Curing solutions include Orion for mid-level production, and Titan for higher-capacity volumes – both optimized for compatibility with Kornit Atlas MAX systems and based on field-proven solutions from the acquisition of Tesoma.
“These highly efficient curing systems sync production and finishing for an end-to-end process that reduces both energy consumption and total cost of ownership (TCO). Kornit’s Rapid SizeShifter for Atlas MAX is an adjustable pallet that quickly adapts to disparate application requirements – reducing costly downtime associated with pallet changes and streamlining production for accelerated time-to-market.”
Chris Govier, president EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa) at Kornit Digital, said: “These new solutions come at a critical time for the EMEA market and are designed to specifically address emerging customer requirements across the region – streamlining production processes, improving time-to-market, and offering more diverse applications while answering environmental imperatives.
“With Smart Curing, we’re rounding out our end-to-end solutions, while enabling customers to globally mitigate energy waste and reduce operating costs. Rapid SizeShifter further advances ease-of-use and productivity for Atlas MAX users by enabling print size changeover in seconds while increasing application versatility. We’re very excited to showcase these new automation and connectivity benefits based on accelerated customer demand across the region – enabling them to experience how end-to-end, intelligent digital production can transform and grow their business.”
Powered in part by Tesoma technology alongside Kornit’s digital production capabilities, Smart Curing puts production and finishing in sync with an end-to-end process that scales to meet customer demand.
Features include:• Optimal production flexibility by curing dark and light fabrics, T-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts.• Significant reductions in power consumption and waste.• Multiple configurations to match specific business requirements, supporting either one (Orion) or up to three (Titan) Atlas MAX systems.
Rapid SizeShifter unlocks the speed and productivity of on-demand direct-to-garment production with a single pallet platform that addresses a wide range of applications – from t-shirts with or without neck tags and hoodies to children’s apparel. Making the production experience more seamless, Rapid SizeShifter delivers:• Increased utilization by eliminating pallet replacements.• A cost-effective solution that easily implements new sizes, products, and applications.• On-the-fly adjustments, addressing demand changes in seconds.• Simplified ergonomics, expanding ease-of-use for versatile garment production on-demand.• Fully streamlined production processes with Smart workflow software.
