Bro! You made me yawn like 3 times. Not because your video was boring or anything like that. But I saw you fighting that yawn yourself like 3-4 times. 🤣🤣 Loved the vid. Keep it up. Gained me as a subscriber!! 😉
@DK after dark, I did look at the Oki, but I didn't like that the rip was not included with the machine and I liked the versatility of the Uninet. The white on the Uninet is also better than the oki which helps with the marrying and application process. I still think Oki makes a nice version, but for me Uninet was the clear choice.
Would like to know if this will allow waterslide Laser Jet paper, to print graphics like the ghost White Toner is doing now, but with less opaque white, which is why I would need one of these if it can print the clear Waterslide paper? Thanks!
You are a funny guy😂😂 great video always a pleasure watching you guys at the shop. I agree with you on buying the 600 to do bigger sizes. Some people buying the 550 will most likely upgrade later on. Waste of money in my opinion. Just buy what’s best don’t limit yourself
Thanks 😃. I saws my brother waste a bunch of money on equipment by buying to small or not supporting his immediate future needs. I try to learn from not only my own mistakes, but others too.
Time to Make Something Hey thanks the reply! Yes I completely agree with you. If you going to run a business don’t cheat yourself and be cheap. Go big if you can afford it . The better the equipment the more customers it will pay for itself.
What do the prints feel like on shirts? is it paper like or closer to screen printing? I am hitting that point where I can only do so much with vinyl and heat transfer paper is horrible and I refuse to sell that to my customers. so I'm debating on sublimation or white toner i am mainly a t shirt and hat business and the uninet really caught my eye I just wanted to know the feel of it on a shirt
I don't mind the feel and my customers don't mind either. I don't do big images, mainly logos and text. It's great for those things vinyl can't do and much quicker.
@@ttms thanks for the quick reply I really appreciate that. I do a mix of sizes generally 11x11 or 10x10 on little league or high school team shirts . For my own brand I'm working on I want to do comic strip style graphics and text so feel it be right up my alley.
Can you press this on glass or acrylics? What i am looking for to do. And is it heat transfer or sublimation on the glass or aryclic? Thanks. Little lost.
Did you consider the OKI brand before buying Uninet? It seems a lot of people selling Oki and getting Uninet. Is it because Uninet is better? or just because the people are not getting good results with the a+b sheet print in the Oki? I myself had a ghost white system and did not like it, I end selling it. Now I'm doing DTG printing with our build DTG printers and selling them. For mugs, signs, and other stuff definitely thinking to get a white toner if I need, most I do is sell DTG machines and custom t-shirts for my customer base.
I did look at the Oki, but I didn't like that the rip was not included with the machine and I liked the versatility of the Uninet. The white on the Uninet is also better than the oki which helps with the marrying and application process. I still think Oki makes a nice version, but for me Uninet was the clear choice. I'll probably get a DTG some time in the future when I have enough volume to keep it running properly.
Hey bud I am looking at getting the i600 for apparel. I am wondering if I should go with that or a latex printer for my shirts which will also will allow me to do decals and other stuff. In other words latex printer or I color for apparel.
If your focus is going to be shirts, the 600 is a great option. If you are wanting to do more stickers, I'd go with the latex. The icolor does have sticker media you can run, but it's a lot more expensive than the media for Latex. I'd pick a focus and get the machine that's best for that focus.
I'd be interested in a video that shows your htv, if you still do it, and what you are using that makes it so expensive...it seems like the white tonor method is expensive and a tad convoluted with the 2 steps involved, plus the tricky peeling method.
I haven't used it in a while, but I use it when it's a good use case. I'll make sure I record it the next time I do. Printed HTV has multiple steps too. Print/cut/weed/transfer tape. Please you have to load the media on the printer. With the Uninet you can print way faster than the HP Latex and you marry and apply. So technically it's less steps to do white toner. I'll make a video going over it in more detail.
Nice content ! I got a question how does your ink last until you have to buy more. Also does it show u on its screen if u get low ? I’m thinking about purchasing the 600
The 800 is a similar configuration to the 600. You can get a simulated black, but you can't print using the included black toner if you're using white. I always used 100 on cmyk and it look good when printed.
Love your videos, just subscribed! Question, I'm on the fence about the 550 and the 600. Do you know how the SmartCUT software works if I wanted to print larger images?
Thanks! Smartcut will analyze the image to see where it can split it so you can layer it using multiple sheets. It's pretty cool tech, you could also do it manually, but it's definitely more work.
Hey man how is it going. I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Quick questions. Where did you buy the icolor 600. I'm thinking of getting the icolor550 since I am just getting started. Also where do you get the transfer paper for the printer. I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you
@@ttms Hey man thanks alot for the quick response. I see that it already comes with 100 x 2 transfer paper and ink. I will definitely give them a call. Once it comes time to reorder transfer paper and ink, I don't see them selling it separate do you suggest ordering directly from uninet or is there a place to get a better deal on ink and paper. Thanks
They are working on getting the paper and ink listed on their website. I'm buying my paper and toner from HTW now. I like using them because it's easier to order.
I want to if you are having this same issue with your printer. I have been printing images and there is excessive ink after printing. It seems as if the image smears. Would you know how to fix that issue?
Sounds like there is extra toner that has spilled in the machine. Your machine should have come with a wipe that you can use to clean up spills. You can also vacuum up toner or trying running plain white paper through to try and clean up left over toner.
Great video. I'm getting deterred from dtg and dtf because of the maintenance and headaches I see on the groups. How is the maintenance on this printer? Subscribed
Thanks. The uninet had zero maintenance. I could leave it for weeks and not have to do anything. I think the longest I went without using the printer was 3 months. Turned it on and it worked just fine.
Hi, enjoyed the video... but man, you need some coffee !! Lol Anyway, you mentioned you charge $10 per sheet for the example you showed. My question is what size sheet did you use? What would you recommend for full color sheets of : 8.25 x 11.5 .... 8.25 x 17 .... 8.25 x 14 ? And also, if they are all LFC small logos but you use the entire page? I hope that made sense. I'm just trying to figure out how to price out jobs. Some are full color 10x10 which takes two sheets, some orders are for small front logo, etc... BTW- I have the iColor 550. Thanks for your time and advice!
Would you happen to know anybody that's interested in a cold rolled laminator back in the day I paid $8,000 for it I'm retired not in business anymore no longer use it willing to give somebody a sweet deal I can freight it to their location. Thanks, scotty
Hey I really loved the video. Very helpful. Is there another way to get in contact with you to possibly have you print some transfers for me until I get my icolor next year?
J PHOTOGRAPHY $2500 it’s. basically new. Work great with no issues. I Got the box, all the accessories, receipt, cartridges are full. We can FaceTime or video chat if you want
I haven't had any complaints. I also only do small prints. e.g. left chest, sleeves, caps, etc. I have done some larger things and haven't heard anything from customers.
I'm so stuck, i want to start my own business. I'd like to be able to print a3 format to, could you suggest me which one i should get? My head is exploding
If you want to do a3 you need the icolor 600 or 800. You can get away with split prints on the icolor 550 by using the smartcut software. If I was doing it over, I would have purchased the 550 at this point.
I'd start by telling people you know that you make stickers and banners. I'd then start with clubs, groups, and businesses to see if they have any needs. As for pricing, try to call a few places to see what they charge. If you want access to my pricing calculator, you can get it on my patreon page.

How would you compare this printer to a Roland BN 20 for heat transfer use?
