How the OKI Pro8432 WT Can Help Your Business
If you are screen printing t-shirts, you know there are many jobs that are hard for you to screen print. Some customers only want 10 t-shirts, some need 10 colors, and some request very small text. All of these can be done screen printed, but the cost is higher, and the customer does not often want to pay that price. Some screen printing companies have begun using an OKI Digital Transfer Printer to fill in those gaps. We have asked the owners what jobs it is being used for and whether they think it is working for their business. There are a few things they all seem to agree on, and we wanted to share how it has worked for them.One of the great ways a digital transfer printer can help you is by printing your screens. With Neenah Exostencil paper you can print a design on the digital transfer printer and press it onto a traditional screen. This is a chemical free alternative to making screens. It can allow you to make a simple screen in under 10 minutes. This technique may not work for all of your screens but it can help you make your simple designs much more quickly than you did before and without the harsh chemicals. This process alone can be a huge time saver for many shops. If you are running a lot of simple jobs every day, the time savings from Exostencil paper can easily save you a couple hours a day which can add up significantly over time.
These screen-printing companies also agreed that the OKI is great for small orders. Basically, a digital transfer printer can help fill those orders that do not meet your minimum order amount. If your screen printer is running all day long, running a small order can really slow down the process. For a 10-piece job, by the time you prepare the screens for the screen printer to run, an OKI Pro8432WT could already have completed those shirts and your screen printer would not be tied up with the small jobs.Lastly, the OKI digital transfer printer has helped screen printers for complex jobs. This can mean jobs with too many colors, very small font, or complex images. Running a job with over 6 colors is very time consuming on a screen printer and most customers do not want to pay the price it would cost for those jobs. The OKI can do this entire job for one price regardless of how many colors there are. For images with very small text, keeping the registration in line can be a nightmare. Therefore, many screen printers have begun offloading those jobs onto a digital transfer printer.
We described three ways that the OKI Pro8432WT has saved many screen-printers time and has increased their profit. With the Exostencil paper, you can save yourself a couple hours every day. And with the ability to print the smaller orders more quickly than you can burn traditional screens and the ability print complex designs, it will allow you to take on jobs that you simply could not have done before. This would allow you to bring in more customers and complete more jobs than you can right now.
