If anyone has produced hooded sweatshirt using the Kornit, Direct to Garment process can you please let me know what the quality level of the product is.
Its funny that you should ask that, because I just had this sample sitting on my desk right beside me. It was printed while I was in New Jersey with Bob McCormack. We printed this particular sweatshirt on his 932NDS a few months ago, and I have worn and washed it countless times since then.
We have also printed on plenty of other colors as well, and even across the front of a pocket or zipped hoodie.
What about the front of the sweatshirt? When the pocket sits on the pallet. Does the pocket get in the way of the print head? WE print mostly dark colored hooded sweats, cad-cut vinyl. Were looking to replace that process with DTG. (athletic prints)

THe best results are on 90/10 fabric. Many of the hoods will actually print better than t-shirts because of the density of the weave. printing hooded sweat on a kornit is no problem. We print zips right across the zipper on pockets.

Thanks so much, There is a shop near me that has 5 Kornit's and they avoid sweats, and stick to tees, So they couldn't really answer my question.

For me, I can't print on the front side because it's too thick, even I raise the print heads to the highest. And when I print the back side, I can only "put" the pallet cover on the hood, can't lock the cover. So pity.
Saktees, We can show you how to print on hoodies. If you send a sweatshirt to the office, we will print over the zipper and pocket for you. Please send to the attention of Scott at Kornit Digital North America. Glad to help.

Thanks, I just might take you up on that offer. You Guys are in Milwaukee aren't you?

So, can someone give me an estimate of how much longer a dark hooded sweat takes to print then a dark T-shirt? And what might be the ink cost difference and time thru the dryer?

We have no problem printing on sweatshirts with any of our Kornit printers. If we need to print on the packet, we have created pieces that go on the pallet to raise the spot needing printing, keeping the rest of the garment lower, and print away.
