4 Mark Perfecting when it is in use. Next Fill in the additional parameter of Preparation, Washing (not necessary for ), Turn unit on/off and the Basic Speed of Printing New feature: The waste is now included in the clickcost Next Fill in Make ready Next

5 When not yet done: Create Cost units, Cost categories and General topics Next and Finish to create the New press. Remark: After setup of the new Digital-print-Press changes of the parameters at any times possible. Customize the cost parameters (e.g. a new digital press Linoprint C901) New feature: an extra type of costs per click in the cost management (estimates)

6 Create new records for cost per click with category costs per click e.g. Black, Colour, PMS colour (spot colour) Cost management (estimates) > Parameter > Cost units Cost units > New F11

7 Examples:

8 New feature in the press definition: Extra cost unit for spot colour Extra cost category for spot colour To define the Cost open the menue Define cost

9 New feature: staggered prices for the click cost + influence of the size on the price. After activation of Click costs in the Tab Technical of the Digital Press is a new Button in the large menue available > Click cost Based on the overall total number of clicks per type and size of the print sheet: Sum per type of click (black, colour and spot colour) Overall total of all the sheets on this press Example

10 Example: Click cost (black, colour, Spot colour) for print sheet No. of clicks Format mm Click cost Black Click cost colour Click cost Spot colour x x x x x x x x x Above: falls back to the default cost unit defined in the press Different Printing Speed depending on the number of colors (HP Indigo): New feature in the special runs: Create new special runs per amount of colours used. Set the maximum speed. (If no match can be found for the amount of used colour, the printing speed will fall back on the default speed defined in the press) HP Model default speed: 5000 prints/hour/colour

11 Examples for Special runs: 1 front, 0 back = 8000 p/h 2 front, 0 back = 4000 p/h 3 front, 0 back = 3000 p/h 4 front, 0 back = 2000 p/h 4 front, 4 back = 1000 p/h 5 front, 5 back = 800 p/h 1 front, 1 back = 2 front, 0 back = 4000 p/h

12 Ink cost Cost of ink for a digital press is much higher than for a conventional press Even for two digital presses the costs per ink can be different If the cost of the ink is included in the click cost, set the ink consumption to zero.

13 Ink consumption For digital ink presses the resolution (screening) is an important factor of the ink consumption Calculation advantages The same color code can be used to calculate conventional and digital solutions. The ink consumption can be more accurate if higher dpi is printed. These new features are not limited to digital presses only. Different pricing and consumption settings can be used also for conventional presses.
