Most Crio users average a cost of $3.50-$4.50 per sheet. This includes the paper and the toner costs.

On average, a Crio white toner transfer lasts for about 30 washes.
This depends on the detergent or fabric softener used, the application of the transfer itself, the type of material transferred to, and if the garment is put through a dryer.
For the best and longest lasting results, we recommend that garments with white toner transfers are washed in cold water, inside-out, and hung to dry.
