Printing

A print works quotes per thousand and almost nothing about it costs per thousand. Make-ready is a fixed number of sheets per plate change, so on a short run it is a quarter of the paper and on a long one it is three per cent — which is why litho and digital cross at one computable quantity, and why quoting the wrong side of it either loses the job or loses money on it. Plus a sheet imposed to scale with the grain respected, because a fold across the grain cracks.

Every screen in this module, and what is on it

What it works out

Computed by the software, checked against the running system.

Make-ready has nothing to do with the run lengthThe same leaflet, same paper, same press, costs 3,916.60 per thousand at 250 copies and 83.68 at 50,000. Make-ready is 88.00% of the cost at 250 and 3.66% at fifty thousand.

And everything a factory needs anyway

On the same ledger as everything else

This module is licensed on its own and starts with a seven-day trial, but it is not a separate system: material, cost and billing land in the same accounts as the rest of the business.
