Getting to grips with this beast and producing some nice prints. Best bit of advice for anyone thinking of buying one is to budget for a pretreater. You will need it.

Something I don't read much about on here is the fact that the inks are oeko-tex approved. No other manufacturer can boast that and it has won me lots of business from the green/organic market.

"Kornit`s CMYK water-based inks are Oeko-tex approved."

Taken directly from Kornits website, a copy of the certificate is also posted. Nothing against Brother, but if you are going to make such statements lets make sure they are accurte.

Hi Rick

Yes, should have phrased it better. Only Brother has oeko-tex class 1

 

[loloxa]

at what setting did you print the black and white, 3+1?

regards

 

[TPrintDesigner]

Yes, 3 + 1.

Lots of pressure on the pre-treat and a fair bit on the final print. My 541 needs hardly any pressure to cure but the 782 using white ink is very different.

I'm looking into a tunnel dryer, has anybody got any recommendations?

What is a pretreater? Also, how much did your Brother directer printer cost. What is the approx. cost to printer a name and 8" number of a black or dark t-shirt?

If you don't mind me asking, what press did you go for?

I got my heat press from Transfer express and it is a hotronix. I am not sure this is what you were asking.
