Do you know the energy efficiency of your press?
The information on the required energy (kWh) of a digital printing press per square metre should not be missing from any data sheet! The efficient use of energy can be determined easily and transparently according to the ISO 20690 standard, which was developed on the basis of a Fogra research project.
Energy efficiency can increase the value of a press while lowering a printer's total cost of ownership. Of course, many factors have an impact on the energy balance of a printing system: the size and output format of a press, imaging technology, the need for (pre-)coating, ink types, number of colours, general system configuration as well as drying and curing technologies.
The ISO 20690 standard determines the average power consumption for typical operating states such as sleep, off and print-ready, as well as the necessary energy (kWh) for 1000 A4, letter or A3 prints. This applies to both small-format toner printing systems and large-format inkjet printers.
Print service providers benefit from:
Comparison of different printer systems
Identification of hidden consumers
Optimisation of process settings and production workflows
Press manufacturers benefit from:
Independently verified data sheet entry
Competitive advantages
Derivation of energy saving potentials for prototypes
Our procedure
Determining the energy efficiency of your press or printer system is a simple 3-step process:
Appointment: The measurement takes about a half day.
Measurement & analysis: We carry out the measurement of energy efficiency in accordance with ISO 20690 at your premises, prepare the measurement results for you and write a detailed report in which we analyse and interpret the results.
Certificate: The energy efficiency is certified by Fogra.
