Hi,

You can get the answer in the FAQ at Kornit.
There're many factors to affect this problem, such as temperature of the dryer, spray amount on the garment. Try to lower the temperature of the dryer, increase the circulation in the dryer's oven. If you print black or dark T, you can try the 350F. And someone who use kornit use 320F to dry the garment.
Hope this helps.

It sounds as if the dryer temperature is much too high. A dryer temperature of 290 degrees to 310 degrees work ideal to maintain color brightness. The higher the airflow in the dryer the better it will cure. Fundamentally you are evacuating water. The higher the airflow the less heat you need and the brighter the colors.
