Return On Investment Comparison

Rosetta Technologies offers a full line of standard and MICR printers ranging in speed from 20 impressions per minute to 184 impressions per minute. Rosetta Technologies strives to work with our customers in deriving the most efficient document solutions that will offer the best Return on Investment (ROI).

The Total Cost of Printing is a factor that is often over looked when pricing a new or replacement standard or MICR printer. The cost of printing is strongly influenced by the number of prints that are generated per month and is the major driving force behind the choice of printer speed. Other factors that are just as important, such as print window and distribution must also be considered. Every document solution that requires output to a printer is unique and Rosetta Technologies representatives will work with our customers to determine which mix of standard and MICR printers will satisfy the demand at the lowest possible cost per printed page. 

A simple example of how the total cost of printing can be realized is a comparison of two customers with entirely different printing needs.

Customer A is a small 30 million-dollar company with 100 employees. The company generates a large volume of invoices and a substantial number of business checks. The company is growing and the IT director must meet the current demands on his system and provide for the growth that is expected. The company has a lot of real estate to expand at their current location. The total print volume is in the range of 60,000 impressions per month. The check printing application must be afforded a high level of security since the environment tends to be open and casual.

Customer B acts as an out source for several insurance companies and law offices. The IT director in this instance has every variation of printer output that can be imagined. Long detailed reports that are “one of a kind”, copies of briefs that must be distributed, claim checks that must include “Explanation of Benefits”, etc. This customer has a mix of high volume output with print window requirements with both MICR and non-MICR applications. His print volume is variable but can peak at between 6 and 7 million impressions per month and the demand is growing. One thing is certain, his costs are out of control.

Customer A's solution is obviously dramatically different than customer B's. In each case there is a mix of MICR and non-MICR print applications. The first myth that must be dispelled is that MICR printers are only good for printing checks. This is not true; Rosetta MICR printers can be used for any print application with no difference in the cost per impression. The biggest difference between MICR and non-MICR print applications is the level and form of security that must be provided.

Customer A is a candidate for a single 40 to 50 page per minute Rosetta MICR printer. As the business grows this printer will suffice until an upgrade to a higher volume MICR printer is required (see comparison chart below).  The customer can centralize his business printing needs in one location and reduce both cost and security risk.

Customer B's situation is much more complicated. Contriving a solution for this customer will require detailed knowledge of his data stream, job content, paper size/weight requirements, print window, security, to name just a few. He will more than likely require a mix of Rosetta high volume (70ipm – 184ipm) printers because the large number of prints generated controls his cost of printing, and the time required to deliver them.

Printers with output capabilities greater than 60ipm are generally considered to be high volume, or production printers. They are built to withstand the riggers of continuously printing for long periods of time, or at high duty cycles with high reliability. For this reason they are generally more expensive than their low volume counterparts (<50ipm) but are much cheaper on a cost per impression basis, if the print volume exceeds 100,000 pages per month. For example, two 40ipm printers will never be able to print as cheaply on a cost per page basis as a single Rosetta 92ipm printer if the print volume exceeds 100,000 impressions per month (example above).

The above examples are just a sample of how the Document Solution Experts at Rosetta Technologies can save you money and improve your efficiency.
