New online tool calculates print job costs costs

nnotech Digital has launched its free Printing Cost Calculator to provide instant, accurate information on the amount of media required for your print job. This online tool can help you optimise your purchasing to minimise waste and maximise cost savings. Kieran Dallow, Innotech Digital’s marketing manager, said: “Our free Printing Cost Calculator is a comprehensive and accurate tool for measuring the amount of media required and how much this will cost. The tool allows you to enter the size of your print jobs and the cost of the media for different widths and roll lengths and then calculates the most cost-effective combination of media options.” It is traditionally difficult to accurately specify the best media size to use for print jobs and this often results in much more media wastage that would have been necessary if the correct widths and roll lengths were used. This wastage is not only bad for the environment, but adds significantly to the cost of most print jobs. The Innotech Printing Cost Calculator shows instantly how much your print jobs will cost and allows you to look at ways of minimising this depending on size of rolls and types of media.
