Web Press Questionnaire Project Feasibility Assessment Proposal Date Date Format: MM slash DD slash YYYY Start Date Date Format: MM slash DD slash YYYY Requested Install Date Date Format: MM slash DD slash YYYY Project Manager First Last Applications Engineer First Last Sales Rep First Last Estimated Project ValueCustomerPhoneFaxEmail Sales RegionPlease provide a brief description of the project based on your discussions with the customer/dealer including job types, future applications that the customer foresees, and how the customer would like the job setup and printing process to work (e.g. supervisor creates layout and submits file on a USB key to the operator to load without having to create anything and completes a 100,000 piece job).Project DescriptionQuestionnaireWhat is the make and model of your web press(es)?Please provide schematics and documentation for the customer’s web press(es). This includes physical dimensions of the web press, mechanical, rough sketches of physical system layout and any surrounding equipments, electrical drawings, and operator manuals. Drop files here or Please upload pictures/videos for our review to get an initial understanding of the application. Drop files here or Accepted file types: jpg, jpeg, png, pdf, mp4, avi, mkv. What is the maximum desired operating speed of the web and the print layout pitch (distance between trigger marks to identify one “finished product”)? The customer should be made aware of the trade-off between speed and quality.What would the customer like to be able to print? CMYK Colour Graphics PDF 1” Print Swath 2” Print Swath 3” Print Swath 5 Line Address Block Barcodes (Postnet, UPC, 2D Matrix) Multiple-up Layout (4 up) Other What type of print quality does the customer require for their application? This is based on the ISO 15416 - previously ANSI X3.182-1990 barcode quality standard. Grade A Grade B Grade C Grade D Grade E Grade F Unknown – Print samples are required to assist the customer to determine what type of print quality is desired. http://www.barcodeverification.net/onlinebarcodeverifier.phpThis response will help to determine the recommended DPI settings during production runs and recommended operating speeds. The customer should be aware of the trade-off between speed and print quality. What types of web materials will be used on the press? Porous stock Glossy stock Sheet fed Cardboard Other For glossier stock, this may require integration of a dryer to ensure satisfactory print quality. Request that the customer send us samples of the different types of substrates they will typically use for their customers’ jobs. What is the range of thickness for the web materials to be used?What is the maximum width of the web that will run on the system?Where will the printing process take place on the web? Please indicate using pictures, sketches, and/or concise descriptions. This may be dependent on any necessary upstream processes.Printing ProcessWhat is the method of triggering that will be used to print the desired layout in Compose? Black mark White mark Perforation/Hole Other We require some sort of trigger mark to allow us to send a signal to our printheads to print the customer’s desired layout. What is the direction of travel of the web at the desired printing location? This will help to determine how to mount the bridges and orientation of the printhead shields.Are there any special material handling processes that will need to be integrated with the print system's controls? UV Curing System Divert Station IR Dryer Other Is verification of printed barcodes, text, or numbers required? This will determine whether a camera technology and which type is best suited for the application.Is there any surrounding equipment that generates significant heat, vibration, dust, fumes/vapours, or uses solvent liquids for its operation? This may require shielding of the printheads from these environmental factors and may need to be evaluated with an on-site inspection.What system controls would the customer like to see integrated into the system? Stop & Emergency Stop Control Start/Run Signal Stack Divert/Waste Signal l Other A safety analysis will need to be conducted to ensure that essential controls are included in the system’s design such as heater/dryer controls.
