For business efficiency reasons, I asked a local vendor the following questions and got the indicated replies. I would be interested in some "agree/disagree" discussion, and maybe fill in some blanks where benchmark numbers were difficult. Here goes...
Average set up time per color: 30 minutes
Average waste: 10-30% (ouch)
Average run speed: depends if sheeted, laminated, or roll to roll, but around 70 fpm
Wash up times: 20 minutes/color if aqueous, 2 or 3 times this if solvent based or UV
How typical are these numbers, my fellow printers and vendors?
