OK VooDoo Child, what does a print cost you on the Color Drop DTF system?
Here is the skinny –
We measure things in SQUARE METERS, there is just shy of 11 square feet in one square meter – this tells me I can produce about 11 full front designs in one square meter.
We know the following, we call them constants:
Usage for one square meter
White 30 mL / $2.10
CMYK combined 12 mL / 60 cents
Film one square meter / $5.00
Adhesive 66 grams (.15 lbs) / $2.24
*The total cost per square meter: $9.94
The costs listed above come from another constant, the retail price from our website
cost per image for the following you can obtain from a square meter at 75% coverage
12 / 62 cents
14 / 53 cents
16 / 47 cents
18 / 41 cents
cost per image for the following you can obtain from a square meter at 50% coverage
12 / 31 cents
14 / 27 cents
16 / 23 cents
18 / 21 cents
You can print 8 – 10 square meters per hour and finish one 330′ roll in just under 6 hours
