Publication number: 20240059446Abstract: An automated system for packaging an item includes a pallet, a packaging station and a controller. The pallet supports both the item and a packaging layer. The package is formed with the packaging layer. The packaging station folds the item and the packaging layer such that the item is enclosed within the packaging layer. The controller controls operation of the system. The item may be for example a textile, a digitally printed textile and/or a garment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Guy AVIDAN, Jacob MANN, Omer KULKA, Allon SHIMONI

Publication number: 20240052564Abstract: A method of printing a garment, particularly for use in sport and outdoor activities, to retain moisture wicking or heat management properties of an underlying fabric. The method comprises mapping active body regions onto a print file for the garment. Thus the print file defines standard print areas and modified print areas where the modified printing areas correspond to the active body regions. Printing onto the garment over the standard print areas uses a standard ink density, but printing onto the garment at the active areas uses a second lower ink density which preserves, or at least does less harm to, wicking and venting properties of the underlying fabric.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2020Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Guy AVIDAN, Allon SHIMONI, Jacob MANN, Omer KULKA, Haggai ABBO

Publication number: 20240010009Abstract: Provided herein is a method for digitally printing an image on a fabric in the form of a film on the surface of the fabric, such that the film is characterized by improved properties over the entire image. The method is implemented by compiling in a test run a look-up table for at least one functional composition that confers a desired property to the image, and using the look-up table for printing any given image using just the optimal amount of the functional composition and only on portions of the image that require improvement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Allon SHIMONI, Jacob MANN

Patent number: 11842233Abstract: A textile printing system for digital printing of colored images onto typically colored fabrics, digitally using print nozzles or other digital means, the nozzles printing print pixels onto the fabrics. The system comprises a print file defining pixel colors for the individual printing pixels; and a deletion unit which deletes print pixels from the print file wherever a respective pixel color is within a threshold distance of the fabric color. The textile printer then prints the print pixels onto the fabric to form a colored image without printing any of the deleted pixels.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventor: Allon Shimoni

Patent number: 11639277Abstract: Apparatus for picking a garment having a front and a back and placing the garment over a pallet such that the front and the back of the garment are on the front and the back sides respectively of the pallet. The apparatus comprises a picking arm to approach the garment and then withdraw towards the pallet; and one or more adherence locations on the picking arm, the adherence location being smaller than the first side, the adherence location for contacting the garment using sticky material and causing adherence of the garment via the sticky material at the contact location, thereby causing the picking arm to pull the front of the garment over the front of the pallet, the back of the garment sliding under the first side onto the back of the pallet.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Allon Shimoni, Nuriel Amir, David Elul

Publication number: 20230069751Abstract: A system for networked printing of images onto textiles where the entity placing an order for printing has no control over the machines carrying out printing, comprises an electronic network and textile printing machines, belonging to different providers, attached to the network. Each of the printing machines has a corresponding printing quality profile of parameters that indicate abilities of the printer to reproduce an image on a textile. An input enables a user to place an order for textile printing of an image and select or define a required printing quality profile. The parameters of the image itself may demand certain printing quality levels. The textile printing order is sent for printing to a textile printing machine on the network that is selected for a printing quality profile which best matches the profile required. Other parameters such as cost, delivery time may also be considered.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Guy AVIDAN, Allon SHIMONI, Jacob MANN, Omer KULKA, Haggai ABBO

Publication number: 20220403592Abstract: Provided herein is a method for forming an image on a dyed synthetic fabric, using a dye-discharge agent, the method is effected by printing an ink composition on the fabric and applying a dye-discharge agent essentially on the same area of the ink composition, wherein applying the dye-discharge agent is effected while the ink composition is still wet (uncured), prior to a curing of the image, and followed by curing the fully formed image, whereas the dye-discharge agent discharged the dye that migrated during the curing step, but not the dyed fabric.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Allon SHIMONI, Nir FUNT, Katya GLOUKHIKH

Patent number: 11512418Abstract: A fixation/transfer device for control of dye waste in a dye sublimation process. The device comprises a textile inlet, a textile outlet, a heat press or calender, an endless belt for driving the textile from the textile inlet to the textile outlet through the heat press, the heat press being held at a temperature sufficient to cause sublimation of the printing dye, and a cleaning station for cleaning the endless belt, the cleaning station being located downstream of the textile outlet and upstream of the textile outlet. The feed belt may be heated at the cleaning station so that sublimation may assist cleaning.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Allon Shimoni, Alon Feldman

Publication number: 20210380829Abstract: Provided herein is an inkjet dye-sublimation ink composition that is formulated to interact with an immobilizing composition such that the ink composition coagulates on the surface of an absorptive substrate, thereby substantially limiting soaking of the ink composition into the substrate. Also provided are a printing process and a printing machine, wherein the ink composition is directly printed on the substrate concomitantly with the immobilizing composition, and thereafter undergo heat-pressing to afford a dye-sublimation transfer of the dye to the substrate, thereby forming an image which is characterized by sharp and well defined edges of the dyed areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: Kornit Digital Ltd.Inventors: Allon SHIMONI, Jacob MOZEL
