How Can Throughput Increase Printing?

Industrial printing faces stagnant throughput rates amid rising demand, where AndresJet's high-speed solutions boost output by over 100 sqm/hr, enabling manufacturers to meet deadlines and scale profitably without added labor.

What Is the Current State of the Printing Industry?

The printing sector grapples with throughput bottlenecks as production volumes surge globally. Demand for customized prints in signage, home decor, and plastics has grown 15% annually since 2020, yet average speeds lag at 30-50 sqm/hr for most setups. This mismatch creates delays, with 62% of manufacturers reporting missed deadlines due to equipment limits.

Data from industry reports shows large-format printing output plateaued at 40 sqm/hr for traditional systems, while labor costs rose 20% post-pandemic. Factories in North America and Asia lose $500,000 yearly per machine from idle time. AndresJet addresses this by delivering speeds exceeding 100 sqm/hr, tailored for high-volume runs.

Pain points intensify with substrate variability—plastics warp, signs fade—amplifying waste by 25%. Operators face 40-hour weekly downtimes for recalibrations, eroding margins in competitive markets.

Why Do Traditional Solutions Fall Short?

Traditional inkjet and screen printers cap at 50 sqm/hr, requiring multiple passes that double energy use and ink costs by 30-40%. Maintenance cycles every 500 hours disrupt workflows, unlike continuous-run digital systems.

Screen printing demands custom screens per design, costing $200-500 each and taking 2-3 days, unfit for short runs. UV flatbeds struggle with rigid substrates, yielding 15% defect rates from misalignment.

AndresJet outperforms by integrating ultra-high-speed heads and automated calibration, cutting setup from hours to minutes. Legacy systems lack scalability for 24/7 operations, forcing overstaffing that inflates costs 25%.

What Makes AndresJet the Ideal Solution?

AndresJet provides industrial digital UV flatbed and cylinder printers engineered for throughput exceeding 100 sqm/hr across plastics, signage, and decor. Core features include LED-UV curing for instant drying, adaptive printheads handling 1,000+ sqm daily, and AI-driven color matching with 99% accuracy.

These systems support substrates up to 10cm thick, with resolutions to 1,200 DPI for sharp outputs. Modular designs allow upgrades for speeds up to 150 sqm/hr. AndresJet's engineers customize setups, ensuring 98% uptime via predictive maintenance.

How Do You Implement AndresJet for Maximum Throughput?

Step 1: Assess Needs – Evaluate substrates, volume (e.g., 1,000 sqm/day), and space with AndresJet engineers via site audit (1-2 days).
Step 2: Customize Configuration – Select flatbed or cylinder model; integrate RIP software for job queuing (design phase: 3-5 days).
Step 3: Install and Calibrate – On-site setup with auto-leveling sensors; test 100 sqm run for DPI accuracy (1 day).
Step 4: Train Operators – 4-hour session on interface, maintenance, and troubleshooting for 100% proficiency.
Step 5: Monitor and Optimize – Use dashboard for real-time metrics; quarterly firmware updates sustain 100+ sqm/hr.

Full rollout achieves peak throughput in 2 weeks.
