How Much Does it Cost to Print on the Mimaki DTF Printer?

[@justanoob7030]

I'm not gonna lie, that was hands down the most accurate and entertaining intro I have ever seen! The content was okay too...................................................J/K! I strongly believe the numbers stated as being true. They sound reasonably consistent with what I have been hearing about other printers. The part I like most about this videos is the cost saving tip from applying a color knock out. Its a win for the print shop (less costly) and a win for the customers (more breathable print). Thank you for very informative videos like this. Would you be willing to make a video that demonstrates the total cost of ownership for a Mimaki vs compartable printer vs comparable printer (insert 2 comparable printers here)? Example of content would be cost of maintenance, parts, technician labor, etc. Just a general expectation of the life of parts like print heads. I realize the Mimaki DTF printer has only been out for like 6 months, but others have been around the block a few years and can be a reasonable example. Anyhow, looking forward to your next videos.

Oh so you want us to do a DEEEEEEP Dive. Not sure if we have the resources to figure all that out but we'll see what we can do! Thanks for the encouragement!

I have many problems with my TxF150 specifically when the white has sharp corners and takes a lot of space (a very bold text logo for example). Extremely difficult to remove the film once applied and the letter corners almost always lift up so you have to push them down with your finger otherwise it's set for life. Great video, thanks for sharing !

try increasing the pressure on your heat press.

I think the video was very clear. I would love a basic like in most cases how much per square foot price I know its a estimate but would love that. Thanks!

[@DTFSuperstore]

We did address a per square inch price of $0.007, which I think is more helpful, but a per square foot price would be $1.008. That's figuring 64% coverage and variable white underbase for a darker garment.

Thanks for the info!

Any time!

Hello! Tnx for amazing videos. Have you tested Onyx with the txf150-75? That printer is on Onyx compadable list now.

[@DTFSuperstore]

we have not. We don't carry the Onyx Rip software and after doing some research we don't see any variable white underbase options and that is a really big selling point for CADLink as it makes the transfer feel substantially better. We are, however, always willing to try new things!

[@jonaskarppinen7179]

I hope you try it. It is a awesome program for making volym print logo with finishing in summa f cutters..and onyx is easy for color match with spectrometer. I would love if you could test it, a think you could get bigger customers that are in for big production. Can you color match with spectrometer in cadlink?

@@DTFSuperstore Hey @DTFSuperstore we use the Onyx RIP software and recently purchased the Mimaki TXF150-75 from you guys. Happy to discuss a collaboration if you guys want to test out this scenario at our facility. Onyx is great at streamlining multiple touchpoints.
