The xTool Omni UV printer helped complete our business.

We recently finished a full branding package for a local electrician, Mathis Electric. There are only two of us at YOENSO, but between the xTool Apparel Printer and the Omni UV, we’re able to offer a surprisingly complete branding package to another small business.

For this project, we created the logo, website, apparel, magnets, tumblers, window decals, and other branded materials needed to help launch the company.

Before the Omni, we could already handle the logo, website and apparel. Adding a UV printer opened up an entirely different category of products.

In this video, we’re taking a look at the finished package and how we used the xTool Omni UV to produce the tumblers and decals - plus other pieces that helped round everything out.

One important software note: an xTool software update released today changed the workflow for repeating a completed tumbler print. Previously, we could immediately reprint the same job. After the update, we now have to hit Finish → Process → wait for the image to load → Print → confirm that the size is the same before starting the next tumbler. It’s still repeatable, but it adds extra steps when you’re producing a batch of identical items. Hopefully xTool restores a faster repeat-print workflow in a future update.

For us, that’s really the story of the Omni.

The xTool Apparel Printer handles one side of the business, and the xTool Omni UV fills in many of the gaps around it. Together, they give our two-person company the ability to help another small business go from an idea to something that actually looks and feels established.

When the owner saw everything together for the first time, he summed it up better than we could:

“I accidentally fell into legitimacy.”

That’s exactly what we want to help businesses do.

Fulfilling orders with the xTool Omni O1 UV printer. It makes this work so easy.

How does a small business price their shirts?

I get asked that a lot, so let’s break down a real order and see what it actually costs us — and what YOENSO actually makes.

These shirts were part of a 32-shirt order.

We charged $19 each.

32 × $19 = $608 revenue

MATERIALS

The blank shirts cost us $3 each:

32 × $3 = $96

The ink and film for these prints were around $1.95 per shirt:

32 × $1.95 = $62.40

We also had 5 misprints that cost us around another $9.75 in ink and film.

So:

$96 shirts

* $62.40 prints
* $9.75 mistakes
= $168.15 in materials

That leaves:

$608 - $168.15 = $439.85

Or $13.75 per shirt.

But that’s not what we made.

We still have to account for the machines.

MACHINE TIME ISN’T FREE

We have around $10,000 invested in our apparel printing equipment.

Electricity is actually a pretty small part of the machine cost.

The bigger costs are the machines themselves, maintenance, cleaning, wear, repairs, print-head risk and eventually replacing the equipment.

For our own numbers, we’re going to value apparel machine time at about $15 per operating hour.

This order took approximately:

3 hours of printer time

and

3.5 hours of heat press time

That’s about 6.5 machine-hours.

6.5 × $15 = $97.50 in machine cost

Now let’s do the math again:

$608 revenue

* $168.15 materials and misprints
* $97.50 machine cost
= $342.35 left for YOENSO

Divide that by the 32 shirts:

YOENSO made about $10.70 per shirt.

But there’s one more really important number.

OUR TIME

One person spent about 3 hours printing.

Then two of us spent about 3.5 hours each pressing.

That’s:

3 hours printing

* 7 hours pressing
= 10 person-hours

We don’t have employees doing this work, so we didn’t actually have to write someone a paycheck for those 10 hours.

That means the $342.35 stays with YOENSO.

But our time still has value.

$342.35 ÷ 10 hours = $34.24 per hour

So on this particular order, after materials, mistakes and an allowance for the machines, YOENSO made about:

$10.70 per shirt

or

$34.24 for every hour we spent producing them.

And that’s before general business overhead and taxes.

Is that enough?

For us, on this order, yes.

We like making this stuff.

We’re also creating photos and video content while we’re doing it, so the work has value to us beyond the $19 shirt.

This was also part of a larger order that included other products and services, and it’s a customer we hope to have a lasting relationship with.

But if I had employees doing those same 10 hours of work, the math would be completely different.

And that’s the point of this post.

A small business can’t look at a $3 blank shirt, sell it for $19 and say:

“I made $16.”

We didn’t make $16.

On this job, after the shirt, printing materials, mistakes and machine costs, YOENSO kept about $10.70 per shirt before general overhead and taxes. (Luckily we don’t have a separate rent for the business since we make it at home, but we had to spend money on creating the working area.)

And it took us 10 hours of work to do it.

That’s why a single custom shirt costs more than a bulk order.

That’s why graphic design may cost extra.

And that’s why small businesses need to know more than just what their materials cost.

You need to know what your machines cost you per hour.

You need to know what your mistakes cost.

And most importantly, you need to know what you are actually making per hour.

Being busy and making money are not necessarily the same thing.

Now - let’s make something together!

*Corrected Post: after review of costs, we had used the price for multiple shirt prints and not just one, so we adjusted the math.

We’re putting the xTool O1 Omni UV Printer to work by making a custom challenge coin from start to finish.

This isn’t really a step-by-step tutorial. Come along with us as we work through the project, get everything set up, print the coin, and see how the finished piece turns out.

Challenge coins are one of those projects where the small details matter, so this was a great way to see what the O1 Omni can actually do on a real project.

We’ll be making a lot more projects with the xTool O1 Omni, along with our lasers, UV printers, large-format printer and the rest of the equipment in the YOENSO shop.

If you like seeing real projects being made, experimenting with different equipment, and figuring out what these machines can actually do, subscribe and follow along.

Using my xToolOfficial Omni O1 UV printer, I made a 3D refrigerator magnet. This Lake America “post card” fridge magnet has raised print that sticks out about a 1/10 of an inch. The UV print that sticks out makes the magnet unique compared to normal flat magnets.

Here’s the 1.5-hour process of setting up the xTool Omni O1 UV printer - cut down into 23 seconds.

Our thoughts on the setup process:

It’s a LOT bigger than expected. Very heavy and you need a lot of workspace.

Make sure to remove the screws in the base BEFORE plugging in. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The syringe pushes on a little “button” for the ink extraction. When you’re getting it right, you can feel the button go down and the pressure on the syringe trying to draw it back down. It’s not as scary as I had built it up to be.

The cat magnet is the test print from the O1.

My yellow seems to be a bit dark. Not sure why. It’s not very vibrant. Was dark during extraction.

Scanning is a lot faster than our other UV.

It took 34% of the UV-W ink out of the cartridge in the setup (most is in the lines). 18% of the FW and RW was taken from the cartridge. See image at end.

We will be making a lot of B2B items with this, tumblers, tabletop signs, magnets, coasters, pens, and more. There’s actually a lengthy list of items we will make combining this UV printer with our xTool lasers.

Get ready for a lot more items Made in Conway by YOENSO.

Using our xToolOfficial F2 Ultra UV laser, we customized a mirror with a little positive affirmation. Then, we let our backyard hummingbirds feel the love!
