Default 30k budget - what printer?

Don't want to be to repetitive, but need a reliable printer for around 30k that can handle dark shirts and light shirts.

I am looking at the T-Jet Express and the Kiosk, but really not sure the differences between the two.

This will be my first printer, so an easy learning curve is a plus. Also, hoping to get one that can handle larger orders as well.

Hi,
The Fast T-Jet Blazer Express prints on light shirts, dark shirts, and many non-textiles like golf balls and skateboards with a special pretreatment. It has a print area of 16" x 30" and can do oversized prints.

It comes with a touchscreen print pass counter, so you don't have to manually reload the printer between passes on dark shirts. That helps make it a pretty fast printer. The average would be 20-45 light shirts per hour and 8-15 dark shirts per hour, depending on the dimensions of your design.

The main factor separating the Blazer Express and the Kiosk are the printer models they're based around. The Blazer Express is based around the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 while the Kiosk is based around the Epson Stylus Photo 2200.

If you're looking for other printers in your 30k price range, you may want to look at the Blazer Pro, especially if you want to print in quantity. It prints 25-55 light shirts per hour and 10-20 dark shirts per hour, again depending on the dimensions of your design. It has a print area of 16.5" x 44".
