OKI's Pro8432WT Textile Transfer Printer Launched

OKI has unveiled the next generation white toner textile transfer printer, the OKI Pro8432WT. This new unit replaces the OKI Pro920WT and is available through Graphics One and its distribution partners in North America.

The new Pro8432WT is designed to fit any print shop, design studio or even a spare bedroom where space is at a premium. The printer and accessories do not require a great deal of room, yet provide a strong alternative to silk screen and other decorative methods. Thanks to its easy set-up, a user can be in business in a short period of time. 

Printing with white toner, the Pro8432WT can produce full-color transfers which are already weeded and ready for transferring to black, dark, light or white t-shirts. Manufactured to be compatible with virtually all of the transfer media brands, especially GO's FlipIt 2.0, the unit offers immediate access to high-value revenue opportunities with minimal investment. 

Amazingly the Pro8432WT is compatible with so many different transfer media and can be used to decorate virtually any substrate from cotton and man-made synthetic fibers to metal, glass acrylic and even wood. Graphics One offers a wide array of media types for use with the new printer. Additionally, by combining the unit with a swing away heat press--such as the Fuze 1620 or the Hotronix Fusion--a full system has a far lower price than other digital printing technologies such as direct-to-garment, sublimation and even screen printing. 

The Pro8432WT design is optimized for transfer media printing using specialty toner technology which delivers strong white opacity and vivid colors which last in the wash. 

Best of all the list price of $6,895 is less than competing technologies and can be combined with heat presses for a complete system at less than $8,000. Included with each printer is the GO OKI Start-up kit which includes toner, paper, professional t-shirt folder, heat resistant gloves, heat resistant tape and dispenser, webcam for training and other unique add-ons only offered via Graphics One and their distribution partners.
