Thread: Nexpress per print cost analysis?

Anyone have some Kodak NexPress per-print cost figures for various coverages? The http://www.colorprintingforum.com/ko...video-264.html (Kodak NexPress 2100 / NexPress 2500 Video) stresses that this machine "has no click charges" allowing you to more tightly control print costs, which seems a bit in reverse of what we typically consider. How does the NexPress cost per page compare to an offset press for the same coverage (averaged over a sufficient number of prints to take in account durables: on one hand drums, fusers, etc. and on the other blankets, rubber, etc.)?

thanks!

The issue with your costs will ultimately be how particular you are about print quality and how good your operator is. Kodak's "A-4" Model gives you a capped cost per A4 image and an ability to run below it (ORC model) and save money over a traditional click plan. The ORC model is horrible, difficult to reconcile, and costs alot of money up front that you will be reimbursed quarterly up to 80% of what they owe you. You need to buy all your supplies up front and keep around 20K of supplies on hand at any point. We had an ORC on our M700 with a cap of .058 per Image (up to 13" x 19"). Kodak had made mistakes on their initial calculations and we were running at around .075 per impression. They had based their original ORC numbers on A4, but sold them as A3 (all their competition sells price per click regardless of size). We would constantly be owed about $12-15 K dollars from Kodak at any given time. After removing our two lemons, they replaced it with a 2100 plus 5 color for the same cost. We revamped the service contract to be a traditional service model at .058 per impression and we don't have to buy our own parts and supplies.

Who can give a fair opinion on the over all production to cost on this KoDak product..
The profit is based on how the sales dept trains there clients to Digital printing....
Which i must say that nbexpress is pretty close to litho quality....
lots of maintenance , required but haveing deidicated operators to pass the profit margin to management to make it all profitable.....
over_all..... it is very hi_maintence but does give you the quality and the quick turen around.....
and if you get into vaiable data....... extreme machine.
