Gate and window folds

To add a new machine you go to 4 menus:

• characteristics
• quantities
• grammage
• delivery

Characteristics

You go to the technical characteristics of the machine which breaks down into 6 categories.

General informations

You go to the technical characteristics of the machine which breaks down into 6 categories.

• her name
• is it active in the calculation?
• it is contrary to internal or do you use a subcontractor?

Authorized trim size

Define the authorized trim size by choosing in the drop-down menu.

Open size

It corresponds in going size with 2 fields to fill:

• height ( minimum et maximum) which corresponds to the width of the buckle

• lenght (minimum et maximum) which corresponds to the depth of the buckle.

These 2 sizes are set in millimeters.

An option is available to determine if the size adjustment in included in the rate folding.

Max. paper weight assuming pre-scoring

Set a maximum weight for 2 window folds and 3 gate folds.

There is the possibility to choose if the sizing before folding is included in cost. If so, this means that guillotine costs will not be counted.

This table sets the maximum weight under understood that the fold will be possible soon if the product will be asked for a lower weight to it.

Fixed costs

Fixed costs are the costs of makeready, which are determined:

• a makeready cost for 2 window folds
• a makeready cost for 3 gate folds
• possibly a free from a number of copies

Proportional costs

The proportional costs correspond to the cost of 1000 copies:

• a cost of 1000 copies for 2 folds
• a cost of 1000 copies for 3 folds

Quantities

This screen allows you to make a variation of a standard price per 1000 according to quantities( per steps).

Each rule is applicable individually and the system takes into account the most advantageous.

WARNING: If you set :

< 2000 runs then variations -10%

< 3000 runs then variations -5%

n this case, for a quantity of 1000, the system will take a variation - 10%.

The rules are put into competition in their field of validity. If both rules are checked, the most advantageous being chosen.

Grammage

This screen lets you set increases depending on steps of weights to simulate the change in pace of machines.

Delivery

This pop up allows you to pricing, if the machine is externally (from a subcontractor), the cost of transport return from the printer to the subcontractor.

There are 3 ways to price:

• with a fixed cost
• with a proportional cost per kg
• with a minimum outright cost.
