This is where we can get very deep into numbers and stats that aren’t interesting to read when first investigating a print system, so we will start with a summary. The DigitalHeat FX OKI 9541wt is the first transfer printer to offer a 5 channel system delivering CMYK (just like most toner printers) plus a white channel. This means you get extremely rich colors, better than any other transfer printing solution in existence. This 5 channel system is powered by a 5 LED Electrophotographic printer that outputs an amazing 1200×1200 dpi. This combination of technology gives you the most powerful transfer printer on the market today!

Maximum paper size of 13″ x 19″ makes the DigitalHeat FX OKI 9541wt the largest white toner transfer printer on the market. This is fantastic for a business that wants to print large t-shirt designs but even better for production. Let’s break down the typical sizes of transfer paper and compare a left chest logo that is about 3″ x 3″, imagine a typical logo on the left chest of a t-shirt. In the below scenario we will compare production times with various print sizes.
8.27 x 11.69 is about a 7.75 by 11″ print area. Yields about 6 logos per transfer sheet. Producing 120 shirts means printing 20 transfers. These all require the steps of printing, adding adhesive and trimming. Roughly 3 minutes per print.
11 x 17″ is about a 10.5 x 16.5 print area.Yields about 15 logos per transfer sheet. Producing 120 shirts means printing about 8 transfer sheets. These all require the steps of printing, adding adhesive and trimming. Roughly 3 minutes per print.
13 x 19″ is about a 12.5 x 18.5 print area.Yields about 24 prints per transfer sheet. Producing 120 sheets means printing about 5 transfer sheets. Less print time + less heat press time = faster production! Compared to an A4 print, production time is reduced by 60%. Roughly 3 minutes per print. Extra large prints are essential for the most efficient production time and maximizing the potential needs of your customers.

Screen Printing is the most seasoned t-shirt printing technology.

No color separation or ‘half-toning’ or any other complex tricks. Just create an image with no background. If you want an area white, just make the art contain white.
It takes about a minute to click print and have the software process the art. The machine will print it in seconds once it get the data.
This is referred to as a ‘marry’ process. Essentially you put your print and an adhesive paper on a heat press. This bonds them together.
This process involves an initial adhesion and then a finish.
That’s it, a single shirt can be completed in 5 minutes. No liquid, no mess, no clean up, no other work.
If you expand this to 10 or twenty shirts, you will find that you are start-to-finish done in less than an hour. It’s a refreshing thought that you can take customers you initial turned away, and turn them into a profitable transaction. There is more to discuss within short runs, but you have to learn about the time-to-press solution first.
I’m sure an experienced screen printer could even add a few more steps to this process, but the point is made, it’s a lot of steps. What if you could screen print with fewer steps?
The Steps for EXOStencil paper are as follows:
Once your job is done, then clean up is just with a pressure water. Lower pressure to clean off ink, higher pressure to reclaim the screen.

If you want to do a short run with your screen print equipment, you can create a screen in five minutes and then reclaim it with a pressure washer. You can effectively do the following with short runs:
The power is now in your hands to determine which configurations are best for your business.
“This was a substantial purchase for my business, so I spent a TON of time researching white-toner printers. I ultimately bought the Digital HeatFX OKI 8432 WT printer and a fusion heat press from ColDesi because they had the BEST options in terms of packages, supplies, and support that I could find. They’ve been my partner in success ever since!” —Corey Pendergraft
One of the best features of the OKI 9541wt is the single-pass full-color transfer process. Many t-shirt businesses are selling based on the number of colors in a design. Generally speaking, adding more colors = adding more work. This is true for Heat Transfer Vinyl and Screen Printing. When you work with full-color transfers you print all of your colors in one shot. It doesn’t matter if its 1 color or 100 colors, its the same amount of work. Your business can use this to your advantage! While your competition is quoting on keeping the design under 4 colors, you can give your customers a vision of 100s of colors, or full-color photos being added to their apparel. This is something your competition may not be able to effectively re-create, giving you a fantastic advantage.
