Balancing cost-effectiveness and sustainability of swissQprint printers

Large-format printers from swissQprint are designed for durability with minimum maintenance, thus keeping operating costs low and minimizing the environmental footprint. Customers using the printers confirm the fact that swissQprint printers have low maintenance costs and the biggest point is that maintenance downtimes can be planned ahead of time. An added and advanced feature of the printers is the mercury UV lamp. Since 2017, swissQprint has only used LED lamps. They are energy-saving, toxic waste is no longer an issue and, very importantly, lamp life expectancy is similar to that of the printers. All of this saves resources. Likewise, a matter of fact is that 95 percent of printer parts have potential for returning to the circular economy.

Thinking about such longevity, one might question for how much time swissQprint will support earlier printer generations. The answer comes from a customer – ‘Not only do we continue supporting first-generation output software we supply spare parts and inks as well. ‘End of life’ isn’t in our vocabulary.’ Don’t Replace – Repair instead! In the development process, printheads or electronic circuit boards that are still in good condition are given a second life. Doing repairs not only saves the money, it also conserves valuable resources.
