Less start-up waste in printing

Every job change consumes material before stable quality is reached. Connect settings, colour checks and job sequence to reduce this loss.

New proposal for case-specific validation

No saving percentage is promised in advance. Technical scope, partners and funding are checked for your specific case.

Who this is for

Printers with measurable setup waste and traceable job classes.

Activity and prerequisites

KID-2025 screening references: 18.1. These are not final classifications or eligibility confirmations.

Check business size, revenue, location, sector exclusions, aid regime and an existing product or service where the model requires it. Missing data remains a question, not a positive assessment.

What changes

Control settings, check colour early and sequence production with material constraints in mind.

Measured flowProcess changeVerified result

How the result is verified

Primary measurement

kg print substrate rejected during setup / 1,000 accepted comparable units.

Compare starts by run length, format and colour count using machine records, weighed waste and colour control.

Baseline, target and acceptance

Measure the baseline at your operation. An initial planning approach is around four representative operating weeks, extended or separated for seasonality and product mix. This is a planning method, not a programme requirement.

Agree the target after a trial or engineering assessment. Compare equivalent conditions without compromising quality, safety or hygiene. Retain absolute quantities so a normalized indicator cannot conceal losses.

Who delivers what

PixelAutomate

Connect job, settings, quality and rejection cause.

Process and equipment

Printing technologist and measurement/control-system supplier.

These are required roles, not contracted suppliers. Responsibilities, data access, timing and acceptance are confirmed before commitment.

When not to proceed

Faster work or higher machine utilization without less material waste does not establish the result. Cardboard cutting remains G11.
