The Industry’s

Mass Production Powerhouse

Apollo has the best productivity and requires the lowest labor in the DTG world, this brings the total cost of ownership of a single print to the lowest of all DTG solutions available in the market (ranges between $0.9-1.3 for a standard print), and makes it competitive to screen printing short runs.

Apollo’s automation modules take the load off your staff, allowing to focus solely on extending garments at the right pace. For that reason you need to allocate only one operator from your team run at a pace of up to 400 shirts per hour.

Apollo’s embedded RIP engine has the ability to RIP PDF files, and identify spot colors and Pantones. Apollo will also be equipped with Qualiset, our machine vision, autonomous calibration system. With those capabilities at your hand, you can be confident in your color accuracy.

When operating an Apollo system, you should consider the cost of equipment, inks, service, labor and energy in order to account for all associated costs for operating the system. In some cases, we also offer click based business model which captures the equipment, inks and service costs, making it straight forward to know your true cost of operation.

Apollo is an industrial power house, that can print over 1.5 Million prints per year, if you print more than 700K impressions per year, your ROI should range from 12-18 months. We will be happy to create for you a dedicated ROI calculation for your business needs.

We offer flexible payment options, ranging from payment terms to operating leases, we will be happy to discuss your model and needs and tailor the best option for your business.

Apollo prints at a productivity rate that is comparable to the one that can be expected from an Analog carrousel, i.e, 350-400 prints per hour, for a T-shirt with a print that is up to 12.4” (31.5 cm) wide. Prints that are wider than that are able to be printed, however the productivity is reduced. When considering a typical workday, that includes PM’s, non-standard prints and breaks, it is reasonable to expect an output of ranging from 270-330 prints per hours (this value can range more based on the garment types and print areas that you run)

Apollo is geared towards cotton and cotton-rich blends. Apollo incorporates the MAX printing technology (same ink chemistry) and as such, has a wide working window that is suitable for a range of garments. We will be happy to provide you a printed sample on your own blanks.

Apollo uses the MAX printing technology that have been proven the meet the strict quality and durability requirements of the top brands. We deliver color accuracy with our Eco-Rapid ink , our embedded RIP engine which identifies spot colors and Pantones. When combining this with the Qualiset autonomous calibration system, it yields accuracy and consistency. We will be happy to provide you with sample of your own designs. All of Kornit’s solutions incorporate our patented in-line “wet on wet” technology, meaning that no extra steps are required when printing. Once you load a shirt on the system, all necessary subsequent steps will be performed seamlessly and automatically on the system.

Apollo is an industrial solution, meant to complement a fleet of analog carrousels. Imagine a world in which you have a cost-effective solution that takes care of all of your jobs that are several hundred copies long, leaving your analog carrousels fully available to plow through your several thousands copies jobs. Your site capacity will soar! We will be happy to create with you a custom capacity model, based on your input parameters.

Apollo’s dryer is using a hybrid curing technology that incorporates IR and hot air. The results is dryer that consumes 50% less energy of conventional dryers.

Apollo makes the training short and easy, since our Smart Production takes care of all of the technical know how that is needed to operate the system. Your operator can focus on loading and nothing more, making the training process very quick. When you add an Apollo to your fleet, we offer full training packages that bring your team up to speed with all of the technical tools that are needed to run the system on a daily basis. The process can takes 2-4 weeks, and includes all operation, applications and maintenance aspects.

Apollo has an embedded RIP with ability to operate with PDF files and identify workflow. During onboarding we will provide all training needed to operate the system. No more worries about separations and screen prep, loading a file to Apollo is a matter of several seconds.

Apollo brings garment flexibility. You can print dark and light garments at the same record-breaking pace. You can print on cotton and cotton rich blends, on shirts, neck tags or hoodies (with or without pockets), and experience the vivid prints made possible by Kornit MAX technology.

Using an Apollo helps to reduce by more than 70% the GHG emissions compared to screen printing. We will be happy to share with you the detailed LCA report.
