Sounds like Brother will be rolling out a new model to replace the GT-541 in January with a WHITE ink option! Apparently they gave people a sneak peak at ISS New Orleans... was anyone there that can expand on this?

Wait till the Chinese sort out a cheaper white ink version. They did great with dye sub inks as opposed to sawgrass. That will be the real turning point.

If you are talking about Brother's new "Grafi Tee" system that does white ink, a rep brought one into our shop for us to demo in person. Coming from the GT-541, I was not impressed. The requirement for a separate pre-treat station makes it impractical for anything but small orders, and the print speed is very slow. We ran a large full back design to test it, and it ate up nearly $7.00 worth of ink for one design.
