We want to reduce printing costs

If you're looking for ways to reduce flexo printing costs , it makes sense to start by optimizing your washing and prepress processes. At Print Systems , we help printers reduce the use of chemicals, consumables, reduce downtime and implement automation of die washing and press parts. This will realistically reduce print production costs, improve operational efficiency and increase order margins.

What do we hear from printers?

  • printing plates wear out quickly and we have to replace them often.
  • We have to correct orders because printing plates are underprinted or dirty on the machine.
  • Energy, chemical and labor costs are rising, while profits are falling.
  • Washing takes a lot of time and involves operators who could be doing something more important.
  • We use a lot of chemicals, and we still can't be sure that all the elements are well cleaned.
  • We have the impression that money "escapes" in many parts of the process, but you don't know where.
  • We lack a person who will take a holistic view and help optimize production.

Our approach!

The darkest is under the lantern

This is why it is so often difficult for printers to spot the processes around printing that generate the most costs on their own. We have them accurately diagnosed and know what parameters to expect at each stage of printing plates production or washing components after printing. In these two areas we bring printers real savings.

How do we operate?

  • We select the most durable printing plates that can withstand more print cycles.
  • We are implementing automatic washers that save people's time and cleaners, and UV lighters that reduce energy consumption. 
  • We optimize chemical consumption with a chemical audit.
  • We show you how to reduce waste and errors.
  • We point out where a printer can save money without sacrificing quality.

What do we use?

This is where we start our activities!

Our audit is the first step to real cost optimization. Experienced specialists analyze the washing processes step by step, identifying inefficiencies that generate unnecessary expenses. The printer receives specific recommendations

printing plates that work longer

Thanks to their durability and accuracy of reproduction, they allow you to print more from one Printing plate, reduce the number of corrections and downtime, dispense with solvents, and speed up the production process. Shorter leaching time more jobs at the same time.

Energy-efficient and long-lasting alternative to classic UV lamps

With a UV LED exposing machine, printers use up to 60-80% less electricity, do not need to replace lamps regularly - LEDs have a much longer life, the machine heats up faster and works more stably, which reduces exposure time. Fewer failures and service = less downtime and lower maintenance costs.

QUICKER chemistry is environmentally friendly and effective, which significantly extends the life of the plates

Thanks to unique formulas developed in our laboratory, QUICKER products effectively clean and protect printing plates at the same time, extending their life by up to tens of percent. That's real savings on consumables, lower cleaning agent consumption, faster cleaning processes, less waste and lower disposal costs.

Reduce errors and reduce machine downtime

QUICKER washers eliminate manual labor, reduce errors and cut machine downtime by up to 70%. The fully automatic post-printing die washing line operates almost without operator involvement - from loading to picking up clean dies. This frees up operators' time for other tasks, reduces chemical and water consumption, and minimizes losses due to improper cleaning.

Plate leaching reduced to a minimum

The QUICKER FLOW T100 washout reduces material waste and improves the quality of printing forms. A full cycle takes only 5-10 minutes, and the built-in UV LED lamp speeds up illumination.

The machine is ready for operation as soon as it is started. Water consumption per cycle: 43-89 liters (depending on settings).

We work according to our proprietary QUICK Care concept

Our QUICK Care implementation and training ensures that print shop operators work faster, more reliably and without errors, resulting in less material waste and shorter turnaround times. Ongoing 24/7 support reduces the risk of costly downtime. Onsite and online training allows better use of machine and chemistry capabilities.
