Printers
are under the cosh as the costs of paper, ink, chemicals, plates and
energy continue to rise.
Every time a consumable cost increases so does the value of each copy.
It could be The Pirelli calendar or a restaurant flyer. It
doesn’t matter if it is good copy or spoil, every printed sheet
that hits the delivery has cost more to produce than it did before.
To combat this problem press manufacturers, both offset and digital,
have worked hard and successfully to bring makereadies under control.
They’ve reached the point where they can’t really further
reduce waste at the front end.
So for further improvements in production efficiency and waste
reduction they now have a sharper focus on their press delivery and
finishing departments.
Over supply is a common issue with commercial printers. No one wants to
supply too few copies and risk having to reprint, so firms prefer to
embrace the "Baker’s Dozen" principle and over-produce - simply
to ensure customer satisfaction.
And who’s paying for that? Not the print buyer that’s for
sure.
It might only be a small quantity on each job but over time the value
mounts up and profits are inevitably diluted.
In a world of tightening margins a few percentage points can make all
the difference to the long term health of a printshop.
As costs rise so too do the number of companies doing business with manufacturers of specialist counting machines.
Sometimes to solve a problem you have to go back to basics - and more
and more firms are realizing that if they can accurately quantify the
work they have produced, they can also accurately supply.
Modern counting machines will count a wide range of materials and
return highly accurate results, day after day, year after year.
These results will help printers streamline their supply side and
maximize revenue per copy.
Now it’s all about making sure every sheet counts.
