Would the printed shirts be "acceptable" if you just use a heat press (not a Hix or Adelco conveyor dryer) on a Kornit print? On black tees? On white tees?

I dont even think work because Kornit ink need to be cured with hot air ....
heat press with just keep vapor in a big steam bath on the garment, which will prob give u wash failure and not proper colors ..

Not expert on machine, but I know how ink works Ha..

The process requires a good flow of hot air, at least 2,500 CFM and more. We are evacuating water vapor and initiating a bond between the fabric and the inks. Using a Heat press traps the moisture and will cause failures.
Also the process requires much less temperature to cure, but air flow is a must.
