The key differences in ink consumption and cost between UV and DTG printing are:
UV printing: Uses UV-cured inks, which are less harmful to the environment and have lower ink consumption due to the curing process.
DTG printing: Uses water-based inks, which are more environmentally friendly but have higher ink consumption due to the printing process.
In terms of cost, DTG printing inks are generally more expensive than UV printing inks, especially for large-scale printing. However, the cost of DTG inks can vary depending on the printer model and manufacturer.
