There are a lot of variables involved with a question like this. At 300 shirts a day, you will probably need more than one printer unless you are running 2 shifts.

For this type of volume, I would look at the Kormit models. They start at about $100k.

for the volume you are talking about, I think the Kornit is the only one I would consider

US Screen have a scalable solution based on multiple Blazer machines, they have an AVI of it on there web site. You can run multiple machines from a single PC and using FastRIP you have multiple queues that allow the printers to be run individually or
Printer Pooling - First come first served, so if one printer is busy it send the job to the next available printer, use full for lots of one off jobs.
or
Printer Echoing - Sends one job to multiple printers, so that if you have a 100 of one shirt to produce you can produce the work load across 2,3 or even 4 machines.

All these queues can be set up simutanously and you can print to the queue that is suits your requirement for the current days work.

Best regards

-David

I have Acrobat Reader 8 and it opens fine. This is what basically came with my Vista computer, but you should be able to update it for free. Otherwise, I am not sure what the problem is.
