The Hidden Costs Of Industrial Printing
And How To Reduce Them
Identify hidden costs in two minutes with the Total-Cost-of-Ownership-Calculator
How much do the printers you use on your production line cost? What we mean is, how much do they really cost? As the pressure increases on producers and packagers to make their production lines more efficient, we are often asked about how our customers can reduce their printing costs. And the answer we give often surprises them – because we mention costs they often didn’t think primarily about.
Read on and we’ll tell you the six ways that your printers cost money – and how to reduce your total cost. Not only that – you will also get access to our new TCO calculator, which will give you an actual figure personalized to you and your business.
So where is all that money going?
1. Downtime
This is the cost that is most often overlooked when talking about coding & marking. Downtime can be created by poor print quality as well as by poor printer performance. Some conventional printers need cleaning between pauses in production. So, the production line sits idle while someone takes the printer through the cleaning cycle. Some printers can take up to 20 mins to stabilize before they are ready to print again. This delay costs money: according to Senseye’s True Cost of Downtime Report, the cost of a lost hour ranges from USD 39,000 in the FMCG sector to more than USD 2 million in the automotive sector.
With LEIBINGER, this is not a cost you need to worry about. The LEIBINGER printer technology keeps unused ink in a 100% airtight system. It doesn’t dry out or clog, production schedules are not held up for cleaning, and no precious production time and money is wasted. High quality printing results are guaranteed at any time.

2. Maintenance
It’s important to keep machines serviced and in good working order, and this can be a significant part of the overall cost – unless you have a LEIBINGER IQJET. The IQJET is maintenance-free for five years. This is possible because we use durable, high-quality components and a unique product design that minimizes ‘wear and tear’ (e.g. no need for a continuously running feed pump). And it removes the maintenance cost altogether.
In contrast many of the other prominent printing solution providers today seem to lack a crucial focus on minimizing parts and maintenance requirements, as their approach revolves around the wholesale replacement of entire ink core modules, that means the entire hydraulic system, at predetermined time intervals such as annually or biennially. Typically, this process is governed by timeout chips, leading to automatic printer shutdowns when these intervals expire. Consequently, this enforced printer downtime results in production halts for manufacturers. This approach not only lacks sustainability but also incurs exorbitant costs. We are not merely referring to the substantial expenses incurred in replacing ink core modules, which are up to USD 1.500 per year; Downtime costs, in terms of lost production, are equally significant.
Therefore, the query regarding maintenance and spare parts policies should be one of the primary questions to ask your coding and printing solutions provider, as it can constitutes a significant long-term cost factor.
3. Labour
Given the current labor shortage, it is particularly important to consider the time cost of people. How long do operators spend setting up or cleaning printers? Or re-programming them between jobs? What is the expected timeframe for commissioning and installation at the facility? Printers that are easy to install, manage and configure – and with remote control options, for example, so staff don’t have to walk miles around the plant to operate them – will cost less in the long run. Such features are of course included in LEIBINGER printers. The Plug & Print performance of IQJET is unparalleled in the global market. The drag-and-drop interface and the simplest print job creation process are not only effortless but also highly intuitive, and no extensive training of employees is required.

4. The purchase price
The most obvious cost of printing is the upfront cost of equipment, although this is typically less than 30% of the total costs. As with everything, a high-quality, reliable brand will cost more than a cheaper one. And of course, printers cost more if they go faster or provide more features – so the best way to economize is to ensure you don’t pay for features or speeds that you don’t need. In the long term, the best bet is a reputable supplier with a wide range so you can find a price point that suits you.

5. Consumables
Reduce the amount of ink and solvent you use and you reduce your costs – and not all printers perform equally. LEIBINGERs latest printers have one of the lowest consumption ratings on the market, 2.7 ml pre hour of solvent for MEK inks (competing products typically consume between 6 and 10 ml per
hour), and we make sure that ink cartridges are emptied down to the last drop and do not require separate disposal (unlike many conventional CIJ systems). So, you pay less for your consumables.

6. Power
Energy prices remain high, so the power required to run your printers is an important factor. Not only does it cost money, but it also contributes to your organization’s carbon footprint. Choose equipment with a low wattage rating, such as our new IQJET: drawing only 36W it costs less than any other printer to run.
Show me the money!
While it is useful to know the different ways that your printers cost money, you really need to see the numbers. You need to know exactly how much you’re paying and how much could you save.
And with our online Total Cost of Ownership Calculator, you can have those numbers in about two minutes’ time.

Messe Düsseldorf expands its competencies in Türkiye adding three new, powerful satellites to its global metal trade fair portfolio with the important international trade fairs for the metallurgy, foundry and aluminium industries ANKIROS/TURKCAST and ALUEXPO. To this end, two of the biggest German trade fair companies are bundling their competencies in a joint venture on the Turkish market: Messe Düsseldorf GmbH and Deutsche Messe AG will in future hold a 50% share each in Hannover Messe Ankiros Fuarcilik A.S.

Independently of this: Messe Düsseldorf and Tüyap Fairs Istanbul will continue jointly developing wire Eurasia and Tube Eurasia further
Irrespective of the joint venture, Messe Düsseldorf and its partner Tüyap Fairs Istanbul, will also continue to further develop the regional trade fairs wire Eurasia and Tube Eurasia jointly in Istanbul after their successful debut in 2023. “We are delighted with the big step towards developing further market-relevant topics from the metal industry in Türkiye,” says Friedrich-Georg Kehrer, Global Portfolio Director at Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, explaining how the strategic partnership came about. “With its economic appeal Türkiye is also a flourishing marketplace at the interface between Europe and Asia for the key technologies wire, cable and tubes & pipes,” adds Kehrer.

Over the past few years Türkiye has made major investments in housing, road construction, bridges and rail infrastructure. Other major projects are underway. This fuels a high demand for wire, cable and tubes/pipes as well as metallurgy and foundry products.

Türkiye therefore offers excellent economic prospects and is highly attractive due to its bridging function between Europe and Asia. Thanks to its large domestic market and strong industrial base, Türkiye has long been an important trading partner for Germany and North Rhine-Westphalia.

In 2022 the volume of trade between Germany and Türkiye totalled EUR 27 billion, with NRW accounting for EUR 11.5 billion (42.6%).

Funding Of Ioniqa’s Enhanced Recycling  Business Of Pet Polyester 

Ioniqa Technologies B.V. (‘Ioniqa’) is pleased to announce a significant growth investment by  Infinity Recycling (‘IRC’)’s Circular Plastics Fund to help accelerate the scale-up and roll out of  its enhanced PET Polyester recycling technology. 

Ioniqa’s innovative technology upcycles low-grade post-consumer plastic waste to a virgin-like  quality feedstock. With the ability to process coloured plastic waste flakes Ioniqa’s technology  offers a solution to process PET waste that is currently non-recyclable, creating a recycled  material suitable for high quality food grade applications. Ioniqa has successfully demonstrated  this technology in an industrial production facility in The Netherlands, and is now bringing it to  market with strategic licensing partner Koch Technology Solutions.  

Infinity Recycling provides growth capital to those companies that can help accelerate the  creation of a circular economy for plastics, and subsequently helps them to scale. Ioniqa’s  enhanced recycling solution stands out by complementing existing recycling technologies with a  cost-efficient solution, therewith catalysing the scale up of the industry as a whole.  

Tonnis Hooghoudt, Founder and CEO of Ioniqa, said, “Developing a groundbreaking new  technology like ours is a matter of patience, dedication and funding. With this investment by IRC  we can further extend Ioniqa’s horizon with a view to successfully launch industrial licenses for  new customer plants worldwide. Furthermore, the investment allows Ioniqa to broaden the  types of feedstocks it can process by adding Polyester fibres to our scope”. 

Jeroen Kelder, Managing Partner at Infinity Recycling, commented, “we have followed Tonnis and  the team for a few years now and are thrilled to help the company further scale up and roll out its  groundbreaking technology. The world is in urgent need of circular solutions for the plastics  packaging and clothing markets. Ioniqa has developed an efficient solution that can turn low  grade PET (and polyester) waste into materials suitable for high quality food grade or clothing  applications”. Arie Hooimeijer, Infinity Recycling’s Head of Investments said, “We are looking  forward to working with the Ioniqa team and its partner Koch Technology Solutions to accelerate  the company’s success and deliver real impact for our stakeholders and most importantly for  the environment.”
