Question for users - I am a screenprinter and some of my customers wear shirts printed ten years ago, and screen will always be better. But there is a place for DTG and I have been offered a Brother DTG 782 quite cheaply, but have also been looking at Kornit because of speed and ink cost - but in terms of quality - what would you say the average washes are for a big print with two white passes and CMYK for your machine, using heat tunnel drier for curing before print deteriorates. Which lasts longest?

Re: brother versus kornit
the short answer is don't buy kornit entry level machine. In fact, they retired their breeze from the market as of 2019. I wrote a guide on what to choose for entry level DTG printers here: Brother GTX vs Epson F2100 vs Kornit Breeze

Re: brother versus kornit
I can only speak for what I know and that is Brother prints nice. No adjusting colors, processing, converting or anything.
Re: brother versus kornit
I saw a kornit at a trade show in Atlanta and it was impressive. Definitely faster.

Re: brother versus kornit
You are comparing a ferrari with a chevy. Kornit has printers for half a million dollars. In terms of quality both are pretty good. Its mostly about speed and ink costs that will get you with the cheaper printers like brother.
Re: brother versus kornit
Kornit inks are not as cheap as everyone claims when you check the numbers.
