Hello All,

This thread was originally started by DAGuide about 4 years ago, I am just reposting to see what big changes have taken place since then. Sorry about copy pasting the original post!

Moderators: Hope that's ok.

If ok, Here goes...

A lot of people mention that they wish the cost for dtg inks were lower. This started a debate between myself and one other about what the price of ink should be. So I figured I would get some other people’s opinion about this. Below are five questions that I would like dtg owners to answer. Questions #2-4 are based on the industry standard print (12” x 14” medium coverage print). I would prefer this thread not to turn into a machine specific thread, but understand that some people prefer either a bulk or closed ink system and that might have an effect of the ink cost. Thus the reason for Question #1. So please copy and paste the questions below with your answers.

1. Type of ink system do you run - Closed vs. Bulk/Open Ink System?
2. What do you estimate is your current cost per a print of 12” x 14” graphic for CMYK print?
3. What is your desired cost per a print of 12” x 14” graphic for CMYK print?
4. What do you estimate is your current cost per a print of 12” x 14” graphic for CMYK+White (dark garment) print (if you do this type printing)?
5. What is your desired cost per a print of 12” x 14” graphic for CMYK+White (dark garment) print (whether you do this type of printing now or want to in the future)?

Thank you all for your answers!

Is this question specifically for rjet owners? Maybe try posting under the direct to garment section to see if you can get answers from all dtg users.

Also if you read some of the other posts you will notice that ink prices have gone down since 4 years ago.

I think you have posted this in the wrong section, your questions suggest a generic reply from a range of people. This is the Resolute DTG section for R-Jet owners.

It might be best if you delete this post and put it in the general DTG section so others can answer.
