Try photo shop elements it is alot easier to use than CS. It has lost a few features but will do everything you want it to do for printing on garments

Print time is very (surprisingly)fast. will post actual times tomorrow. still working on perfecting the Pre-treatment process which affects the color...overall i'm happy but check me in another week.
I currently have the amaya xt embroidery machine and it takes a while to do a full chest. to see this whiz thru a full chest in minutes was great.

Ok...here it is:
Full color full front 55 sec. on a white shirt.

Left chest on a dark green shirt got 33 sec with two passes. The design is all white. The results on white t's are great!! the results on darks are not as vibrant as I expected. Still tweaking the settings..

Not sure about boating designs, but a lot of the designs printed at the trade shows on dtg printers come from Great Dane Graphics - www.greatdanegraphics.com. You might want to network with some artists that can get you some custom designs if you can't find any ones that work for you.

Good luck with your new printer.
