Hi,

It would depend on a few factors. If you are using white ink it will be more expensive. Also, if you doing more than one run, printing twice on the shirt rather than once, it will cost more.

The software that comes with the DTG pro actually tells you how much your run will cost to print. On average, it costs from 50 cents to 2.50 to print onto a shirt for most of what I print

Of course the DTG is one of the most expensive to buy but I find that after you have it, it is the most flexible and most profitable, at least for ME!!
