thank you but I actually switched to EK Print and I am very happy with that. 
 

OK I will be back home later and we will send the file and see how it goes. Thanks

As Johnson4 said... the first step is always a nozzle check when you have printing issues. You can't troubleshoot any issues until you know that you're getting a 100% good nozzle check.

Yes we did a nozzle check.

As others have stated, your screen is in RGB and your printer is a limited CMYK version for direct color reference. If your file is RGB, convert it to cmyk and find acceptable colors before printing. This isn’t your only issue in your photo, but to maintain your expectations on “ color matching”. 
 

 your screen won’t match your printer without buying a device to calibrate it. I spent 8 months trying to print “pink” on a dtg machine. Come to find out, it was actually printing correctly, my screen was off on a high end Alienware. $200 later and I was in business, even then though, it’s not “exact” on garment. 
 

all in all, it boils down to experience, trial and error, and gritting your teeth through the testing until you find what works for you in that aspect. I’m sure you didn’t expect to buy a printer and get a perfect screen to print reproduction, even well seasoned photographers can’t do it. With photo printers, the slightest variation in the gloss rating, even from sheet to sheet can change a print significantly. Changing the background color of the shirt, is definitely going to alter not only the perspective due to the surrounding “ tone” but also due to the base color. 
 

I know Andy supports kothari, and I’m not knocking it at all, But it is very difficult to fully understand and use especially for a beginner. It works well if you know what you are doing, but if you don’t it’s easy to get lost in all of the settings/variations and steps, I know I did. 
 

#1 thing from me, your not curing your prints correctly/fully before heat pressing.
 

#2, understand why banding exists and fix it, it matters not only for the quality, but also the color reproduction. 
 

Just my opinion, good luck! 

What causes banding and how do we fix that?

The image below is not done with neon colors and you can see when the transfer was pressed on the shirt the colors are very dull. The hat should be yellow and the aliens should be more green. All the colors are dull. I have seen other people doing DTF with regular colors and the colors are very vibrant and we are not getting those results at all. 

You can see on the image on the screen how bright everything is and how white the lettering is but when we do the print on the black shirt the white looks gray and the colors are just dull. I am new with Kothari  so can you explain where you make the changes on how much ink is put down. Currently, Choke is set at 98, Underbase at 60, and highlight at 20. Output color strength is at 80. Thank you for your help. 

Same here 

Can anyone help with the ink settings for DTF printing on an Epson SC P600. The colors are not coming out vibrant at all. Please Help!

Can someone please tell me what is the best RIP software for DTF. I have a P600
