WHAT BEST DESCRIBES YOUR PRINTING STRATEGY?

LET’S FIX YOUR PRINTING MODEL

People queuing for the printer? High running costs? Quality issues?

There’s a better way to run large-format printers in your business – for ease, speed, and profit. And we’d like to show you.

Select the scenario that best reflects your business and see whether you recognise

some of the printing headaches we’ve identified at organisations like yours.

We’ll resolve them together.

Design departmentExample setup

• One colour printing system

• Shared by about 20 designers

• About 800m2 prints per month, mainly renderings, from AutoCAD

Construction departmentExample setup

• A monochrome LED printer and a colour printer, both with folder

• Shared by about 30 engineers

• About 2,300m2 technical drawings per month from AutoCAD

• 35% colour prints

Sound familiar?

If so, so will these:

• Lost man hours: Designers spend a lot of time queuing for their prints.

• Paper mountain: Uncollected printouts are piling up.

Users struggle to find theirs in the stack.

• Security alert: Sensitive prints are lying around for all to see.

So let’s make it better

DEPARTMENTAL PRINTINGHere’s a typical setup, we’ve used the Design and Construction departments at an automotive business as an example.

What’s changed?

• Print speeds are doubled: Engineers and designers no longer

queue for their prints.

• Better print quality: Fine lines and text on shaded backgrounds

are clearer. Much clearer.

• Safe and secure: PIN printing is ideal for confidential prints.

Less waste, less waiting around.

• Cash back: Typical savings of several hundreds of Euros per month.

• Power down: Printer energy consumption reduced by 50%.

Design departmentNew setup

• The monochrome and colour printers are replaced with an HP PageWide XL 4000.

Construction departmentNew setup

• The monochrome and colour printers are replaced with an HP PageWide XL 4000 with F60 folder.

DEPARTMENTAL PRINTINGLet’s see what happens when your current system is replaced by an HP PageWide XL.

Example setup

• One mid-volume LED printing system with folder, printing around 3,000m2 of monochrome prints a month.

• One colour printer with folder printing around 1,500m2 of colour prints a month.

Sound familiar?

If so, so will these:

• Time and money: Long turnaround times and high personnel costs

for mixed monochrome and colour jobs. Which, of course, must be split

out, printed on two printers, and manually combined.

• Can’t keep up: Overtime and outsourcing costs build up as staff

struggle to deal with peak demand times.

• High energy costs: Two power-hungry printers makes for poor

energy efficiency.

• Bottlenecks: Colour volume is rising…

but the colour printer is already overleveraged.

Not ideal, we’re sure you’d agree.

What’s changed?

• Increased productivity: No manual intervention needed.

The entire job is printed on one system and folded automatically.

• Smooth sailing: Job turnaround times fall, demand during peak

times is manageable.

• Space saving: Used floor space reduced by 50%.

• Cash back: Energy costs are down by 33%.

• Colour coordination: Increased colour volume is no longer

a problem, PageWide XL 5100 prints 20 A1 sheets a minute

in monochrome and colour.
