Press Set-Up/Clean-Up

PRESS SET-UP/CLEAN-UP TIME COST
UV Cured Material:
1 hr/day @ $500/hr
= $ 500/day
Solvent or water based material:
2½ hr/day @ $500/hr
= $ 1,500/day

The number and types of presses, type and complexity of jobs, run lengths all affect uptime. The reduction of set-up and clean-up required with UV is the most often recognized operating cost benefit associated with UV.
