What Are The Operating Costs Of White Toner Laser Transfer Printers? Analysis Of The iColor 800.

[@XaYaZaZa]

"cash under the table like any reputable flea market vendor" HAHAHA!! I love it man

[@ExposedRoot]

You need to make these breakdowns your 'THING'. I can't follow 100% of the time but I can get the gist of it as I'm sure most can. You totally got me into the white ink printer. I'm not at all new to the screen printing biz. Do a breakdown Wednesday or something like that and choose an area of operation in your shop to break down. Even other hypotheticals. I assume you have some sort of a degree in finance or business.

[@ExposedRoot]

Tattered flags from failed southern uprisings!!!! OMG that is priceless. You have talked me into jumping in although I decided to go with OKI. Thanks much!!

[@brandsandempires]

:) glass you liked that. Hope you enjoy the printer man. What sold you on OKI?

[@SHOCKANDAWTV]

Sound like paid advertising for i color im going with oki as well💪

[@ExposedRoot]

@@brandsandempires Actually just got my Uninet 550 today.

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

Great video! Up at $1,500 for toner cartridge replacement, for the whole set, this is prohibitive for us small guys doing small orders occasionally. So I will hav to continue with vinyl, screen print and things like the Forever Flex paper for regular printers… 🤷‍♂️

[@mikejn87]

Best video on actual cost of a of setting up a business I've seen. When you make your next video is there anyway you can have the numbers you breakdown appear on screen, you give out so much good info and it would help us simpletons keep up. Great video!!

[@MarcusCWilliams]

I love your honesty and actuality. 😂👍🏾💪🏾

[@leviteapparel]

CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO GO INFO BUT YOU HAVE TO SEE IT MANY TIME TO SEE MORE POINTS. COOL.

Thank you, you rock man. Keep up ther good work

Great video. Super easy listen thanks bro and remember don't stop half way thu the pull

[@brandsandempires]

Thanks coolhawk and yes, can't pause that peel!

[@shanmthomas]

This is so awesome!! keep doing scenarios like this!! I'm wondering if I should buy the icolor 800 OR have a local printer print them for me - wondering what is more profitable

[@mikeframe88]

Great Videos. Just Purchased the iCOLOR 800 for my Business this week and will be a Great addition to my shop. We our a full Sign and Graphics business that offers screen printing, HTV and Sublimation shirts. Should be delivering next week. Any help starting out would be great as we will also be adventuring into the ETSY store and could use some guidance on best way to do that.

[@olgaturbo8781]

I am new to the Tshirt buisness and I know I will be buying the Pro9541wt . I was wondering what other printer I can use for practice at the beginning. I don't want to waste the expensive toner and paper when doing my first few designs.

[@wisestcrazyboy]

Thx for the video I'd love it if you talk about the company and their printers in a future video.

[@bradnalley4209]

Seriously looking at icolor 560. Is it worth the money? Still using htv with a one or two colors.

[@TheSamifaiyaz]

Hello do you do 1 on 1 consultancy? I need to understand some things better before starting a printing studio

[@jurgmanx4644]

Tattered flags from failed southern uprisings. LOL of the day, thanks man. Thanks for the practicle info. Makes me wonder what is the mechanical difference made for white toner. I other words, why is the printer $3,500?! When other color lasers are much cheaper.

[@brandsandempires]

Good question, after having seen behind the curtain, these are more akin to several thousand dollar commercial printers than the desktop and office printers we're used to. A printer that is rated for 200,000 sheets a month is mechanically a different animal. Semi truck vs a Ford ranger lol. That, a rework of the guts, firmware, and super low volume of sales compared to general use lasers and they aren't cheap, but they are fairly priced when viewed through that lens.

[@MakingTEES]

Interesting video mate, will definitely help the new people in the trade 👍

[@depdad]

Very informative as usual :)

[@brandsandempires]

Thank you, Good to see you're still with us from the beginning!

[@nicolekuku4749]

Let me say thank you for all the great information. I just added the Oki pro 8432WT. I was wondering if you knew it I can use the IColor transfers? If so were can I order them!?

[@brandsandempires]

Hey Nicole, yes iColor transfers are compatible with OKI. Also Sunday I launched a buyers club for Patron supporters so we can all get our paper and supplies for less. patreon.com/brandsandempires

[@karatefutzi]

So im starting out but where the hell do i get these transfer papers ? it feels like there are no real names in the games ....

[@ONEDAYATATIMERESELLER]

Nice I was trying to choose between the i600 & i800.. I800 seems to be a better investment.

[@brandsandempires]

From an operating cost standpoint it's in a league of it's own. I haven't really talked about it vs other laser transfer printers in videos, but the operating costs are a fraction because the toner cartridge is separate from the drum, as well as the brightness of the toner allowing for less coverage at the same opacity.

[@terryallen2810]

Where can I find classes I'm from New York City

[@pronhan4433]

What are your thoughts between OKI printer and Uninet printers? Which printer would be better in image quality, reliability, and washability?

[@Piam67]

Thank you for all the info's. I just purchased the icolor550 and you're absolutely right, the transfers are expensive especially the premium. I"m in Canada and the cost goes even higher!

[@sandorbarta5439]

Hi! Witch paper do you use? After how many washes do they wear out and break?

[@rogert5365]

Do you mind me asking where you purchased your icolor 550 from? I'm looking for one and found a package on garmentprinterink.com but i am not sure if the site is legit or not. And I'm not really sure of a good place to buy it from. Thanks!

[@KH-jk3zs]

[@flexlabz]

Who are your vendors for the transfer paper?

[@nexthomeworldclassteamoran8220]

Do you really have to run the IColor Premium paper through a laminator?

[@rlprintingservices8861]

I don't own a UniNet but I do own a Digital Heat Fx White toner printer. Prints are beautiful but I am not sold on the transfer quality on the garment. Where can I find and try the transfers you were referring to? I need stretch ability and wash ability.. any suggestions?

[@brandsandempires]

You'll want to Google around for "iColor Premium transfers". They're more expensive, but I think itll make the difference.

[@rlprintingservices8861]

Brands & Empires you mentioned a Standard, Premium and a middle grade. In your experience is the middle one any good? I saw the premium but it does have a heavy price tag.

[@nba7103]

can you use "any" white toner printer? does it require special ink/cartriages?

[@StudioGSevenThree]

Hi, do you have any info on the major differences between the i800 and the Pro9541WT? Is one better than the other? do they use the same media?

[@pflamb]

Super information

Please make videos SHOWING THE USAGE OF THE PRINTER AND SOFTWARE, THANKS.

Working on it Ernest! Also I caught some of your homebrew DTG content. Super interesting stuff man.

[@MagnetikCult]

what is the operating cost of the icolor 600

[@Kuroq60]

Ok question. Do you know anything about the oki pro8432 because right now, im debating on that machine and the 800w. Need to pull the trigger amd you speak highly of this machine! Thanks man. Keep up the videos, im an old school, manual screen printer for the past 15 or so years. Time for a change!

[@stephanieandrea7310]

Did you ever pull that trigger and if so what machine did u select and what’s your opinion on it?

[@markgoldman6142]

Do you still have the 800 and if so how do you like it? We are looking into purchasing one.

[@brandsandempires]

Hey Mark, we do. 6000 prints into the machine and it's a permanent fixture in our business with daily use. If you're looking at getting one shoot me an e-mail at [e-mail] and I'd be happy to answer questions and help you get one.

[@dimasvaldovinos4070]

What is the cost per print?

[@michelleford9951]

I have been reading the reviews on these white laser printers and they are not good and they are not that cheap either

[@AmericanWithTheTruth]

Dude I just looked up that printer talk about the sticker shock that’s $9000. No way in hell I’m spending that much money on a printer. You can get an all white toner printer these days for 350 bucks entry-level. And they work perfectly for a small business. Seriously? $9000 that’s two years of operational costs for my entire Apparel branding business.

[@advancedsignmakers6683]

Does the iColour 550 able to print onto acrylics?

[@brandsandempires]

Yes, hard surface media works great on acrylic. Here is a link to hard surface and everything that it can go on; lasertransfersupplies.com/products/icolor-general-hard-surface-transfer-media

[@josuecastro64]

Are there any sites where we could get samples of what each type of transfer actually feels like?

[@brandsandempires]

UniNet would be the way to go for a sample of several types.

[@signprinter2461]

Really good information on this video. But, where's the fire? The pace of this in-depth content, regardless of how well you articulate it, is presented so fast it leaves viewers little time to process. It sounds like run-on after run-on. Why so fast? Just encouraging you to consider the audience when setting the pace. You clearly have command of the content. Best wishes.

[@brandsandempires]

It's funny because I proof my videos at 2x speed. You're right though, I struggle with dense, time consuming scripts that create dense fast paced videos.

[@slocarno7796]

@ Signprinter Click the gear icon (settings) on the lower right of the you tube video & it will open a window. Scroll down to "playback speed" and click on that. The next window gives you a selection of speeds; you can reduce playback to .75 & it'll make a BIG difference for you. Hope this helps!

hey can this printer print on shoes(converse type) ? same as dtg printers
