    2. Ink cost used in this simulation is all based on the standard retail price of individual ink cartridge sales.
    3. Ink cost per garment is estimated based on a national average which was calculated from data collected on over 600,000 prints from more than 150 different GT3 printers being used by actual customers.
    4. Estimated maintenance overhead per garment is based on a normal 8 hour shift and 20 day work month including regular white ink maintenance and auto cleanings.
    5. Average number of garments printed per hour includes pre-treatment and final ink curing process time.
  2. This ROI does not include costs for utilities, rent, shipping, labor for design and sales, tax, and all other forms of overhead expenses not specifically set forth above.
