Transfer vs DTG FAQs
What is the price of the GO/OKI printers and complete systems?
Pricing for the C831-TS is $2,095, $3,395 for the 711WT and $7,495 for the 920WT. Complete T-shirt systems range from $3,695 up to $8,995. A user can get into the T-shirt business at a bundle price of only $3,695.
Q:
GO/OKI:
DTG: Comparable DTG systems range from $20,000 to over $40,000…and yes, the GO/OKI solution offers virtually the same capability at a much lower cost.
Does the cotton garment need to be pre-coated for white to adhere?
Unlike direct-to-garment printers the GO/OKI transfer solution does not require precoating of the garment to be able to use white.
Q:
GO/OKI:
DTG: At trade shows it is rare that DTG providers even tell potential customers that they recommend a precoating device costing between $3,500 and $7,000 for imaging white. The Device (In fact, here is a dirty secret: a trade shows these vendors precoat their black shirts so a user does not see the coating process. Take your own jersey to the show and ask them to image it).
How long does it take a DTG unit to image a garment?
Imaging one transfer sheet using any of the GO/OKI printers is less than two seconds a sheet.
Q:
GO/OKI:DTG: Printers average two to five minutes for just imaging the shirt not including precoating or any heat press steps.
What other fabrics can be imaged by a DTG printer?
LED printers with toner offer the ability to transfer to most fabrics.
Q:
GO/OKI:
Does the DTG printer offer the capability to image on hard surface materials such as mugs, acrylic, metal, leather, wood and many other substrates?
Q:
LED printers have the ability to use transfer papers for imaging to the widest array of substrates in the industry.GO/OKI:
DTG: DTG printers are generally limited to imaging cotton based substrates.
What daily maintenance is required of the DTG unit?
LED printers do not have printheads, and as such, do not require any type of ongoing daily maintenance. Even if the printer is not used for an extended period of time, it will work without any issues.
Q:
GO/OKI:
DTG: DTG products have a daily morning and evening routine to ensure the printer does not clog. Additionally, if the printer is not going to be used for any period of time, there is a complete in-depth procedure which must be implemented to ensure the printer does not clog and ruin the ink delivery system and printheads.
DTG: DTG printers can only print on cotton.
What is the cost for a new DTG printhead and the cost for the technician to come change it?
The LED array is warranted for five years.
Q:
GO/OKI:DTG: If a DTG printhead goes bad, the cost to replace it ranges from $2,000 to $3,500 depending upon the type of printhead.
Additionally, if the printhead is out of warranty, there is a service charge between $400 to $1,000 to replace it.
How much DTG ink is wasted on cleaning and flushing?
No toner is used is wasted as cleaning and flushing is not necessary.
Q:
GO/OKI:DTG: It is estimated that between 5-10% of ink is used by DTG printers to clean, flush and keep the printhead moist so that
it does not clog. We have read the EPSON F2000 units use an added $150 per month going through their cleaning and flushing routine.
How long does it take to train on the DTG RIP software and how intuitive is it?
The OKI/GO solution uses an onboard RIP which is just like using a normal desktop printer. There is very little training needed for its use.
Q:
GO/OKI:
Transfer vs DTG FAQs
DTG: Most DTG units use a complicated software RIP which must be used with a server and where the training to use the RIP is between one to three days.
What type of warranty is offered?
Our warranty includes a one or two year onsite warranty depending upon the printer.
Q:
GO/OKI:DTG: Most DTG providers offer a parts only warranty and in some cases, do not cover the ink delivery or printhead at all.
