So I thought this month I would just show you the numbers and capabilities of our equipment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>4<\/b>&nbsp;colours are used to print everything. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). You could print black with the other three colours but it\u2019s more accurate and more economic to have black as its own separate colour<\/li>\n<li><b>9<\/b>&nbsp;types of papers in different sizes and weights, letterhead, Overhead Projector transparency, die cut adhesive labels, coated and uncoated, and even a small selection of coloured papers.<\/li>\n<li><b>20&nbsp;<\/b>sheets of copy paper can make up a 80 page center stapled book folded and stapled by our printer. If unfolded it can edge staple 100 sheets.<\/li>\n<li><b>25<\/b>&nbsp;Double sided A3 pages a minute is our main printers\u2019 print speed, 70 pages a minute for single sided A4, both at top print quality. For the same sort of quality your average home printer manages 5-10 pages per minute of A4 1 sided.<\/li>\n<li><b>75 &amp; 100<\/b>&nbsp;micron is the thickness of the plastic we use in our laminators. A micron is a thousandth of a millimeter so each type is no thicker than a human hair.<\/li>\n<li><b>100&nbsp;<\/b>meters is the length of paper rolls we load into our wide format printer to do your plans and posters. We also use rolls that range in width from 420-850mm.<\/li>\n<li><b>120<\/b>&nbsp;pages a minute is how fast our folder machine can run through a stack of sheets (and that\u2019s considered slow in the printing industry!).<\/li>\n<li><b>250&nbsp;<\/b>sheets is the largest number of sheets we can bind with a wire comb, 500 sheets is the largest we can do with a plastic one.<\/li>\n<li><b>500<\/b>&nbsp;sheets is the standard pack size of copy paper (1 ream). Heavier papers come in pack of 250 and we get card in packs of 125<\/li>\n<li><b>790<\/b>&nbsp;mm is the width of the plastic of wide roll laminator uses &#8211; we can go as wide as 1.3 meters through one of our finishing partners.<\/li>\n<li><b>1000&nbsp;<\/b>sheets of copy paper can be cut by our electric guillotine in one chop. That\u2019s a stack of paper 100mm tall. It\u2019s powerful enough that it could cut through bone if we aren\u2019t careful (we haven\u2019t tested that!).<\/li>\n<li><b>2000&nbsp;<\/b>sheets of A4 copy paper is held in our main printer, plus: 500 sheets of A3 copy paper and up to 4000 sheets of paper any size and weight we want on top of that. Our smaller printer also holds 2000 A4 + 500 A3 copy paper and another 500 sheets of anything we want.<\/li>\n<li><b>1200&#215;4800&nbsp;<\/b>dpi is the resolution of our printers.<\/li>\n<li>48,500 pages of standard A4 printing per bottle of toner with 4 bottles in total. An average home printer cartridge lasts 200-500 pages for an inkjet and 500-2000 for a laser printer.<\/li>\n<li><b>18,700m<\/b>&nbsp;2 paper &amp; 18.6 Liters of ink . That\u2019s how much our wide format printer has done printing plans and banners. Putting it in context, a A4 is only 0.06m 2 in area, and your average inkjet printer tank holds about 30ml<\/li>\n<li><b>1.8 Million<\/b>&nbsp;\u2018clicks\u2019 or sides of printing have been done by our main printer since we got it 3 years ago. Or to look it at another way that\u2019s at least 100 thousand square meters of paper, more than enough to wallpapers a few houses (or cities).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s just a few little bits and pieces about Copy Express\u2018 equipment and the numbers we deal with. You don\u2019t really notice how big they are until you sit down and look at it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may not realize how impressive the equipment is that we use to print all your marketing material.
