The You tube of the Kornit is misleading as most of the DTG sales.
They only show a 30 second print job and that isn,t the complete process.
That is like a ink jet printer or laser printer printing just a piece of paper.
I have a customer who has a laser white and also a DTG printer and he said the time for the DTG is all of the preparation you have to go through and it isn,t just as everyone is showing in there marketing. I just think it is very deceiving marketing tactics.

I had a laser Oki printer with white and it s**ked it was very temperamental and it cost me a lot on toner and supplies and limited on size. I now have DTG and make quite a bit more money and can stand behind my prints.

I understand as you were sold a system that was marketed the same way most DTG printers are marketed. It probably only had 3 colors and used a 2 step paper that felt like plastic on the shirt.
You are making a nice product and priced correctly as per your web site. Nice work.
