Amy,
I will allow other people to answer your questions, but it is important for you understand why there is a difference in feel. The Kornit printer puts down the thickest viscocity of ink and large amount of it. In order to cure the print, the print must go through a forced air conveyor dryer for several minutes. A Kornit print is not recommended to be cured using a heat press only. The VelociJet and other Epson-based dtg printers (which most of them use Dupont dtg ink) recommend that you cure prints using a heat press. The pressure of the heat press is what makes the final print smooth. If you use a teflon sheet on top of the print, the final print will look shiney. If you use parchment sheet on top of the print, the final print will have a matte finish. As far as I know, the Brother GT inks is the only one that is recommended to be cured with either a conveyor dryer or a heat press.
That is the difference between the prints you have mentioned above.
