Calculating on-press inspection ROI

7 December 2010


Lake Image Systems has developed a Return-On-Investment calculator which accurately determines the payback period and accumulated savings produced by the company’s on-press print quality inspection, defect detection, and data verification systems.

Lake Image Systems Vice President Pat Hoskins explains: “The calculator quickly and accurately shows the value of automatic quality inspection in the roll-to-roll printing environment. It deals entirely with hard data based on each client’s specific operation. Printers considering a quality inspection system can enter data themselves, and weigh different operating scenarios to test the value of the quality system.

Individual savings depend upon variables such as press width, press operating speed, annual press utilization, run lengths, substrate square footage, makeready, waste, and other factors—all of which are considered by the calculator.
