“This strategic collaboration is an excellent opportunity to showcase the power of on-demand, digital production—and how it can unleash new levels of creativity for designers to fulfill their ultimate visions. It’s also a reflection of the seamless way we are more effectively connecting designers direct to the consumer,” said Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer at Kornit Digital. “It is now finally possible to flip the script on supply and demand—not selling what’s already been produced, but producing what has been sold. We are very excited about the possibilities this collaboration will bring.”
