Re: Kornit printer good or bad?
Kornits are a funny thing.
They need to be run, almost constantly. My first one was plagued with issues, from clogging heads, to electronic issues, I had a few print heads go bad WAY before expected end of life. I was seriously freaked out wiht it for a while, after what I spent on it.
Now that I have upgraded to a 2nd Generation, its MUCH better, but it still needs to be worked. It needs to print at least several times a day, or it will clog like crazy. If we close for a few days for a holiday or just don't use it for the weekend. Monday morning is spent swearing and cleaning the heads at least 3 or 4 times to get it going again.
ink is also correct. You really DO need a mega dryer. Althought I don't have gas connections in my building (wish I did) I have a wide belt electric with a 16' tunnel (I think) and it does just fine.
I find that longer dwell time (slower belt speed) at slightly lower heat, helps to not kill the brightness of the colors.
