Using
standard templates of product definition a print job can be
defined with all the details and cost estimated for the same
for pre-press, press and post-press costs. It gives a final
per piece or per copy cost with total job value. You can see
the estimate cost sheet item + component wise or cost element
wise. You can choose multiple options for a job component like
paper types finish, color vs black/white and so on.
The
cost elements can be played with for if and but analysis to
fit a job in an expected cost range or margin of profit. Cost
sheets can be reworked on the fly for specification changes
and options desired. This gives tremendous competitive advantage
in responding to customer requests quickly and accurately. Error
of judgment in cost working is major reasons for non-profitable
or loss causing jobs in print industry.
