Whats the cost of sq/mt of print (ink)

[Russell Huffer]

Hi,

I use Wasatch RIP and Mimaki JV33 printer the RIP shows how much a a print uses, so printing 1sqM test prints i found that costs range from £2.14 to £5.12 depending on media etc.

However to try and best answer your question my 5 year vinyl has an ink cost of £2.56 per sq M so i guess your 3 euro is about there.

Kind regards

Russell.

I am sure I have read somewhere that 15ml per square meter is the average amount of ink used which works out for me similar to the prices quoted.

I cost it at £3 sqm

quote Dermot Howard:

Hi All.
I am trying to remember what the cost of ink for 1 sq/mt of print is. we will assume it is a full colour print. For some reason i think that i was told €3 when i bought the machine, but i also have €6 in my head to, any maybe its a lot more to

Whatever you were told, then double it,
sales people err on the good side, but hey, you need to cost it for yourself, it does depend on how much you are buying the ink for?
