Rialto Designs has invested in a new Kornit Presto S digital textile printing machine to drive printed textile fashion innovation. Rialto Designs is a UK-based company with a modern decoration facility. The company has a weekly capacity of over 30,000 prints and 10,000 embroideries. It deals in decorating all kinds of clothing, bags, caps, textiles, and accessories.
In recent years, the company has downsized its analog screen production and adopted digital direct-to-garment capabilities. Two Kornit Avalanche HD6 systems for on-demand DTG production have streamlined operations and increased output to gain new market opportunities. The latest single-step, eco-friendly Kornit Presto S helps align Rialto’s roll-to-roll workflow with commercial growth and delivers high-quality natural and synthetic pieces in any quantity and short order.
Mr. Riyaz, the founder of Rialto Designs, said, “The pandemic has accelerated some key market trends – reshoring in particular. Clients do not have time to print abroad and are moving their production to the UK. They are also requiring fewer products and greater variation, which is combining to increase overall volumes. At the same time, the requirements for printed pattern diversity across multiple fibers and new product groups have also increased. We want to continue to service the fashion marketplace with millions of meters of dye-sublimation prints onto polyester bases while at the same time positioning ourselves for the inevitable market evolution. That is why we have strategically invested in our future with new adaptive technology.”
Riyaz had been keeping a watchful eye on the pigment print marketplace, like Kornit’s proprietary pigment inks and the solution’s unique single-step process with ‘Fixation on the Fly.’ Kornit’s direct-to-garment technology helps Rialto deliver a service that sets it apart on speed, sustainability, and quality. Clients can now order printed samples across hundreds of fabric bases – polyester and natural – and receive their orders within 24 hours.
