Oki 9541wt

I looked at the 9541 - until I saw the price ($13k in US). From the marketing I wrongly assumed that the white toner was suitable for DST ( Digital Screen Transfer) without the need for a screen printed mask.

What is unique about this that makes it worth nearly double the price of other white toner printers?

They like to shout that they are the first and only A3+ printer of their type.

Oh, and CMYKW of course.

That is a big premium for true black toner and slightly larger paper size. The early adopters are going to pay a lot for this printer.

That's right.
If someone is doing tees only, then that printer would be a waste - better to go for an F2100.
Must be a lot of profit in that printer.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a good CMYK DTG printer @ 320x500 print area for £2500-£3000. I will be waiting forever.
Might go to £5000 for CMYKW.

Or maybe I'm just tight as a gnat's chuff.

Oki do boast that toner & consumables cost less per print on their more costly printers ....

Do not be persuaded to look at Ghost printers, again they do not work and the quality is woeful

Could you go into more detail about that?
