Comparing white toner printing from OKI / CRIO printers like the 8432 or 9541 is important to understand. This can really be broken down into the benefits of each and the needs of your business.
Screen Printing vs OKI / CRIO 8432 & 9541 White Toner Printers
Screen Printing Benefits
- Long set up time, but short production time
- Most common for 1-4 Colors
- Works on most fabrics cotton, poly & blends
- Lowest cost-per-print
- Manual mixing of colors
- Large storage needed for ink, screens, equipment
- Fast set up time, can do single shirt orders
- Relatively no limit on colors with CMYKW Printing Process
- Works on most fabrics cotton, poly & blends
- Higher cost per print compared to screen printing
- Colors printed directly from Art / Print Optimizer Software (CMYKW Printing)
- Can be operated in a much smaller space (Printer, Heat Press, Paper)
For larger orders screen printing offers the benefit of a lower cost per print and a fast production rate. On smaller orders the 9541 offers a cost / time effective way to print without the need for the long set up time (initial print can be done in minutes)
