Tintoria Finissaggio 2000 Integrates Kornit Presto MAX for Digital Textile Printing
Italian textile finishing company adopts digital printing technology to reduce water-intensive processes and support shorter production runs
Italian textile dyeing and finishing specialist Tintoria Finissaggio 2000 has integrated the Kornit Presto MAX into its production operations as part of an effort to expand its textile offering, improve manufacturing efficiency and address demand for more sustainable and flexible fabric production.
The company, based in Biella, Italy, has been operating in the textile sector since 1972 and specializes in dyeing, finishing, printing and lamination. Its customers include luxury fashion brands, textile manufacturers and fabric converters.
Digital Printing with Reduced Processing Steps
The Kornit Presto MAX is designed for industrial roll-to-roll textile printing. The system combines pigment printing with a single-step process that does not require pre-treatment or post-treatment.
According to Kornit Digital, eliminating these stages can reduce water consumption, energy use and production time while allowing fabrics to be produced on demand.
For Tintoria Finissaggio 2000, the technology was selected with three objectives: developing new textile products, eliminating water from the textile printing process and establishing a production platform suited to customised and shorter production runs.
“We were looking for a technology that would allow us to create something entirely new while dramatically improving sustainability,” said Dino Masso, Owner and CEO of Tintoria Finissaggio 2000. “As a dye house, water consumption has always been a major consideration. Presto MAX gave us a truly water-free digital printing solution while also providing the flexibility to serve a market that increasingly demands customised, agile production.”
Focus on Pigment Printing for Premium Textiles
The company has also worked with Kornit to develop fabrics using pigment printing for premium textile applications.
According to the company, pigment printing has historically been associated with differences in hand feel, colour vibrancy and durability compared with reactive or acid printing. Tintoria Finissaggio 2000 said the fabrics developed using the technology delivered colour, softness and print definition while eliminating several traditional finishing steps.
“When we saw the first results, we were genuinely impressed,” Masso said. “The quality, the hand feel and the appearance exceeded our expectations. That was the moment we knew we had made the right investment.”
Shorter Processing and Production Flexibility
The fabrics produced through the process emerge without the need for additional washing, steaming or post-processing, according to the company. This has reduced production time and supported its efforts to improve operational efficiency and responsiveness.
Tintoria Finissaggio 2000 has now integrated the Presto MAX into its manufacturing workflow. The company said the technology is being used to develop new products, access additional markets and support brands seeking more flexible, demand-driven textile production.
“We don't see Presto MAX simply as a printing machine,” Masso said. “It's a platform that changes the way we serve the market. As the textile industry moves toward producing only what is needed, technologies like this will be essential for building a faster, more sustainable and more flexible supply chain.”
