Since none of these can print white, they cannot be used for printing on dark (Black, Blue, etc) shirts needing an underbase and as such, is there that much of a market demand to go through all the work effort to print on white or very light colored shirts?

1. I have a pretty steady demand for transfers which pretty much only go on white.
2. Brad, who was an pretty early adopter of the original Brother with no white made the jump to a white machine, but when it came time for a new one, went back to the simple route.
Perhaps he'll fill in some of the details of his market.

I think Wayne, that you are looking at this through rock band eyes, and there is a whole lotta' other world out there.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha  I like that.  "rock band eyes".   

Yea, it's rare as hen's teeth that I get orders on white.  But I gotta say, that would be wonderful if I did.

My input...having white ink capabilities is great...until it becomes a burden.

The maintenance on the Brother GT3 series amounts to at least an hour or two per week.  Couple that with 15-20 pcs per hour production times and ink costs that are outrageous, and it's a recipe for disaster.  We wasted a ton of ink, got prints that looked great, but ultimately had a hard time finding the perfect market for them.  Which is more my fault than Brother's.

We do just fine with the CMYK printer.  It's less work, more profit and way less headache.
