Summary

Kornit Digital builds industrial inkjet printers for garments and fabric using its own pigment inks, and a print-on-demand platform (KornitX). It is the leading digital-first printing vendor found in this review, though its systems target apparel and custom decoration more than long-run quilting prints.
