Is the cost of consumables for the digital printing machine for cartons high in the later stage? How much does it cost approximately in a year
The core concern of many cardboard box factories when purchasing machines: Is the cost of consumables for cardboard box digital printing machines high in the later stage? How much does one year of operation and maintenance cost? Fearing that the equipment might be cheap but cost a lot in the long run, the overall situation would not be worth it. Today, we will objectively break down all the expenses of digital printing machines in the later stage to help everyone clearly understand the real usage cost.
First, let's clarify the core: The digital printing machine for cartons has no plate material consumption, completely eliminating the high annual costs of plate making, plate material replacement, and plate exposure consumables in traditional printing. The core consumable in the later stage is only environmentally friendly water-based ink, with no other high auxiliary material expenses, saving a large amount of fixed costs from the root.
Ink is the main expense. The ink provided by regular source manufacturers has a high concentration, low loss and high cost performance. The cost of consumables per box for printing is much lower than the combined cost of traditional printing plate making and ink. Moreover, high-quality ink is not prone to clogging and has strong stability, which can effectively reduce the wear and tear of the nozzle and lower maintenance costs.
The second is the daily operation and maintenance cost. High-quality industrial-grade equipment features a stable structure and strict quality control. Under normal maintenance, it has an extremely low failure rate and does not require frequent replacement of parts. Compared with the high expenses of frequent maintenance and nozzle replacement for no-name equipment, the annual maintenance cost of regular equipment is almost negligible. At the same time, the equipment has a high degree of intelligence, saving labor and time, and indirectly reducing labor costs.
Daily maintenance is simple and convenient. It only requires regular dust cleaning, ink path maintenance, and nozzle calibration. The manufacturer provides free maintenance tutorials and remote guidance, with no additional charges. Under normal use, the service life of the equipment can reach 8 to 10 years, and the long-term amortized cost is extremely low.
