Challenge - Fluctuating Paper and Ink Costs

With paper accounting for about 25 percent of printing costs, printers feel the impact of cost fluctuations. Fortunately, paper price increases don’t normally affect profits because they are typically passed directly to the customer, but lower prices can encourage more volume. Ink prices are affected by fluctuations in oil and resin prices.

What We Think

“New ink and equipment technology can improve commercial printing operations and reduce long-term costs. Interest in single-fluid inks has increased. Single-fluid inks, which are waterless and water-washable, provide faster start-ups and wider temperature latitude, with no solvents required for cleanup. And a new, low-cost computer-to-plate system might save up to 50 percent in material cost by eliminating waste, all helping to offset fluctuating paper and ink costs.”
