Cost & Return
on Investment: With economics over the
past few years, most printers have deferred upgrades or replacement of
ageing presses. And in an era of industry
consolidators, many smaller & privately held companies may feel
left behind in this capital-intensive industry. But being competitve in
today’s printing industry requires the right equipment, with the right
features. And your overall budget
considerations may include other upgrades such as direct-to-plate or
other pre-press, bindery, etc. Even at today’s low interest rates, your
money only goes so far. Can a two or three
year-old press with exactly, or essentially, the same features be as
effective as a new one? Is a new press
worth 20-40% more? Lets consider a
hypothetical example: Profit Printing is
considering the purchase of a Six-color 40-inch press.
Profit has narrowed its options to either a new press for The additional cost of $
750,000 over 7-years at 7.0% will require an additional monthly
installment of over +$ 11,250/mo, or +$135,000 annually. Based on a 25% gross
margin, Profit Printing would need to generate approximately $1.45
million in revenue to cover the new press P&I.
Alternatively, the company would need to generate only
$900,000 annual revenue, -38% less, to justify the pre-owned option. Again considering the cost difference, the
company would need to generate an additional $45,000 per month ($540,00
annually) in revenue or cost savings to justify the new press. If each press offers
essentially the same capabilities and operating results, wouldn't that
extra $500,000 look better on your bottom line. Please try one of our Financial
Calculators for example amortization and comparative
