Kornit Digital's Atlas Matrix is now available. Exhibited at Fespa 2026, currently taking place in Barcelona, this on-demand digital textile printing platform has just completed a beta program with customers in Europe and North America.
The Atlas Matrix extends the capabilities of the Atlas Max Plus to polyester, blended and sublimated fabrics. As a result, the printer can process virtually any type of fabric on a single line. It features the Karbon Shield system, which limits dye migration on polyester textiles, a recurrent problem in direct digital printing, particularly on dyed or sublimated garments. It has been designed to meet shorter production runs and shorter lead times for customized textiles in a variety of markets.
The German print-on-demand textile and personalized products group Spread Group and the American textile marking company US Colorworks took part in the beta tests, under industrial conditions. These early adopters praise the print quality, textile feel and operational simplicity.
Spread Group claims to have already transferred significant volumes of polyester production to the Atlas Matrix. It emphasizes the benefits of direct printing on sublimated T-shirts, which are difficult to process in a single step. US Colorworks believes that the machine considerably broadens its customer offering while simplifying production.
For Ronen Samuel, Managing Director of Kornit Digital, " the apparel industry is rapidly evolving towards more agile on-demand production models, requiring greater flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness". According to him, the Atlas Matrix "represents a major step forward for the industry", by enabling customers to "expand their applications, simplify production and accelerate the transition to large-scale digital manufacturing".
Kornit is said to have already recorded " a strong backlog of requests for upgrades" and demand for new systems.
