Kornit Digital Ltd. unveiled its Atlas MATRIX at Konnections 2026, redefining apparel production in the on-demand era. Atlas MATRIX is the first unified digital production system designed to deliver true demand-driven manufacturing with complete flexibility across cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics, with no compromise on quality, durability, or efficiency. At its core is Kornit?s proprietary Karbon Shield technology, a breakthrough protection layer preventing dye migration even on the most challenging deep-dyed and sublimated polyester fabrics.

Karbon Shield enables consistent, vibrant, and durable results in a true single-step process, without complex setups or manual intervention, while maintaining a soft hand feel that meets the highest retail standards. The system supports both direct printing using Karbon Shield and transfer on film using Karbon Transfer, ensuring full consistency between decoration methods and opening new possibilities for placement, design flexibility, and product categories. Atlas MATRIX also introduces expanded creative capabilities with two distinct configurations: a neon configuration designed for high-impact sports and performance applications, and a red and green configuration tailored for fashion and brand applications.

Atlas MATRIX directly addresses one of the largest opportunities in the apparel industry by transforming how producers manage short- and mid-run jobs. The global screen-printing market represents approximately 14 billion impressions annually, with nearly 6 billion impressions in run lengths below 1,000 units ? segments where agility, speed, and flexibility are critical.

About 30% of this volume includes polyester and blended materials, commonly used in fast-growing categories like sportswear and athleisure, which demand increasingly higher performance and quality standards. Atlas MATRIX is engineered to unlock this opportunity at scale. Atlas MATRIX enables seamless production across cotton, blends, and performance fabrics in a single system, allowing producers to consolidate operations and enter new applications rapidly.

Atlas MATRIX will be available for customer delivery starting early May, including upgrade packages for existing Atlas family systems such as Atlas MAX PLUS and Atlas MAX POLY. Customers can place orders immediately. Kornit will showcase Atlas MATRIX with live demonstrations at upcoming global industry events, including FESPA Global Print Expo in Barcelona, May 19?22, 2026.
