1. Equipment and consumables procurement

1. Reasonable equipment selection

• When purchasing a DTF printer, choose according to actual needs. Do not blindly pursue high-end models or too many functions to avoid unnecessary expenses. For some small printing businesses, you can choose entry-level equipment with high cost performance.

• Consider the stability and durability of the equipment. A reliable printer can reduce the cost of repairs and replacement parts, which is more economical in the long run.

2. Optimize ink procurement

• Find a reliable ink supplier and compare the prices and quality of different suppliers. You can strive for more favorable prices through bulk purchases or negotiate long-term cooperation with suppliers.

• Choose the right type of ink. Some inks may be cheaper, but the quality and performance will also vary. Consider the color vividness, durability, drying speed and other factors of the ink and choose the most cost-effective ink.

3. Save printing materials

• Reasonably plan the printing size to avoid wasting printing media. When designing patterns, try to choose the right size according to actual needs and reduce unnecessary blank areas.

• For some commonly used printing media, you can consider bulk purchases to get better prices. At the same time, attention should be paid to storage and preservation to avoid damage to the printing media or waste due to expiration.

2. Printing process management

1. Improve printing efficiency

• Optimize printing settings and increase printing speed. Under the premise of ensuring printing quality, the printer's resolution, printing mode and other parameters can be appropriately adjusted to speed up printing and improve production efficiency.

• Reasonably arrange printing tasks to avoid idle equipment. According to the urgency of the order and the workload, the printing sequence can be reasonably arranged to make full use of the equipment's working time and improve the utilization rate of the equipment.

2. Reduce the scrap rate

• Strengthen the inspection and preparation work before printing. Ensure the accuracy and completeness of the printed documents to avoid scrap caused by file errors. At the same time, check the status of the printer to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and reduce scrap caused by equipment failure.

• Monitor and adjust the printing process. Timely discover problems in printing, such as color deviation, blur, etc., and make timely adjustments to avoid the generation of scrap. After printing is completed, the finished product must be strictly inspected for quality to ensure that the product meets the requirements.

3. Save energy and maintenance costs

• Use the power management function of the printer reasonably, turn off the power in time when the device is not in use, and avoid unnecessary energy waste.

• Regularly maintain and service the printer. Cleaning the print head, adjusting equipment parameters, replacing vulnerable parts, etc. can extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, it is necessary to operate in accordance with the requirements of the equipment manual to avoid equipment damage due to incorrect operation.

III. Business development and management

1. Expand business channels

• Actively explore the market and find more customers and business opportunities. Through online marketing, participating in exhibitions, and cooperating with partners, the business scope can be expanded and the utilization rate of equipment can be improved, thereby reducing unit costs.

• Provide diversified services. In addition to DTF ink printing, you can also consider providing related design, post-processing and other services to increase business revenue, while also improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

2. Optimize business processes

• Establish an efficient business management system to scientifically manage orders, production, inventory, etc. Through information technology, improve the transparency and efficiency of business processes and reduce human errors and waste.

• Strengthen cost accounting and control. Carry out detailed cost accounting for each printing project, including equipment depreciation, consumables costs, labor costs, etc., identify high-cost links and take corresponding measures to optimize them. At the same time, regularly analyze and evaluate costs and continuously improve cost control methods.
