is the Kiosk that you are considering enabled with white ink? or are you looking at a CMYK only setup? Pretty well all machine brands running only CMYK are easy and stable enough. once you introduce white ink allow yourself time to learn the system and be religious about the white ink maintenance.

Comparing a kiosk with white against a GT541 without white is hard to do though

Con - The 541 is very expensive not a white ink printer.
Con - Most posts on this forum I've seen about the Kiosk are about problems.

Pro - you haven't purchased yet, research other brands.

I have to disagree with the statement about the kiosk. If you look in the dtg section, most of the kiosk owners have fairly good luck with that machine. I see more successful printers with the kiosk, then I do with problems.

I would look for a different printer then the kiosk simply because there are newer printers out there that have more advanced options then the original kiosk does, but the kiosk is one of the more proven white ink printers out there.

The brother would be a good choice if you dont intend on printing white ink, but if you want to print on light and dark garments you will need a white ink printer.

I myself have had the HM1 for around 2 1/2 years, and would still make the same choice, as it has held up to what I expected out of it.

If you look in the direct to garment section up at the top, there is a sticky thread there that is made up of owners of all the different machines giving honest feedback about their particular machine that might be helpful

Brother equals barely any issues, Kiosk more maintenance prob. due to modified epson heads being used
