    Default please help me estimating the correct production cost

    i am trying to figure out the cost/plate for AGFA CTP (violate) for my local area.
    The cost must contain

    PLATEs
    ELECTRICITY
    DEVELOPER Liq
    Replenisher Liq
    Unifin/Thermotak
    Manpower

    Please correct me if i am missing something here. Your help would be highly appreciable.
    or is there anything else which is usable item(s)/material(s), which i have not considered.

    Many Thanks in advance.

    with my research i am focus on a few important components of
    the cost of processing a plate:
    • The cost of the processor, including floor space.
    • Cost of chemistry
    • Cost of maintaining the processor
    • Inventory costs
    • Baking
    • Waste disposal

    anything else?

    Quite a broad scope but also include the cost of a maintencnace schedule in terms of downtime and manpower, any service contracts on the equipment, a higher screen frequency will impact on output of plates as well.

    What kind of CTPs do you have Shadab? Perhaps, Having some spare parts in stock can save you a lot during downtime.
