    The Smartest ROI Decision you can make for your shop

    1. Paper Waste will be greatly reduced with less pulls for color correction. Our customers average a 30% reduction in paper waste.
    2. Time will be saved on each make-ready by eliminating color pulls for offline scanning. Our customers average a 20% reduction in make ready time.
    3. Labor Savings – Overtime will be reduced due to additional job capacity. The pressman also has more time to tend to other duties, job reporting, job preparation, etc. This makes for a more proficient press crew or frees up the helper to assist on multiple presses.
    4. Ink Savings – There is an ink savings due to the reduction of paper waste.
    • Average Sheets saved per Makeready – 150
    • Average Makeready time – 10-15 minutes
    • Average Ink savings – 40%
