Usually, when we decide to buy machine,not only we will consider the machine price, but also the printing cost.
Now, I share here with you about the printing cost.
It is roughly calculated that one liter ink ( 1000ml ink) is availabe to print full image of 100 sq.m.
100 sq.m = 100 * 100cm * 100cm = 1603* A4 size ( A4 size = 21cm * 29.7cm )
one liter white textile ink need 3 liters of fixing-agent to match ( textile color ink no need for fixing-agnet )
one liter eco-solvent ink need 3 liters of coating to macth.
The image shows A0,A1,A2,A3,A4 size

  • T-shirt printing cost
    1. For dark t-shirt printing , you need
    textile ink .( c.m.y.k.w ) .white textile ink  and color textile ink
    you need fixing-agent .
    2. for light t-shirt printing , you only need textile color ink
    e.g. textile color ink price :  A /liter  ( A/1000ml)
    textile white ink price : B /liter ( B/1000ml)
    fixing agent price:  C /liter ( C/1000ml)

    one liter white textile ink need 1.5 liters of fixing-agent ( textile color ink no need for fixing-agnet )
    one liter ink can print the product of 100 sq.m = 100 * 100cm * 100cm = 1603* A4 size ( A4 size = 21cm * 29.7cm )
    if you need one t-shirt printing size to approximatly be A4 (21*29.7cm)
    Printing cost:
    light color t-shirt :  A/1603=
    dark color t-shirt: A/1603 + B/1603 + 1.5C/1603 =

  • UV printing cost  ( same as the eso-solvent printing cost )
    1. For UV printing , you only need UV ink
    but for glass,metal, smooth materials printing, you need coating
    e.g. UV ink price :  D /liter  ( A/1000ml )
    Coating price:  E/liter  ( D/1000ml )
    one liter eco-solvent ink/uv ink need 3 liters of coating to macth
    Standard pvc card size :  8.56 * 5.398cm
    one liter ink can print the product of 100 sq.m= 21641 * pvc card
    Printing cost:
    standard pvc card :  D/21641=
    smooth metal same size as standaard: D/21641+ 3E/21641 =

  • Food printing cost

    e.g. edible ink price :  F /liter  ( A/1000ml )

    If you want to print on cake , printing size need to approximately be A4 size
    Printing cost:  F/ 1603 =
