[![Request a Quote](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/27225202/interactive-206277040346.png)](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLK%2FaMj2K7ICv0VHIwRJ0IZlJyPSYZ%2BnCgKiAdEp9yB9a1Pf1ueUlGT4wytBKr26vox4%2FFGKavn5fD85eIuqUqvnnY092qb6e0rBujA82XWsB9e2V1YBIXCiLSSsWK0xADpbPsAyMGuuazctB%2BkZplK8kGtb6EADwjfsM9SpaVNhCF2rPbb9Oe8oxHIvSNa25vKf5I7xGBbJcQ5raEDteiLdc%2FhS&webInteractiveContentId=206277040346&portalId=27225202) While traditional print formats remain a powerful and credible part of the marketing mix, and demand for wide format and digital print continues to grow, the pressure to do more with less has not eased. The UK commercial print market saw a period of stabilisation through 2025 after several difficult years, but cost control remains central to protecting profitability. By implementing smart strategies into your workflow, you can reduce your printing costs while still maintaining quality for your customers, avoiding unnecessary wastage, and increasing overall efficiency. Here are seven ways print suppliers can do exactly that.   ## **1. Source Materials In Bulk** There are genuine economies of scale to be made when buying vinyl, inks, and other media in larger quantities. Suppliers will often offer a discount on bulk orders, and the savings compound because there is less packaging, fewer individual shipments, and lower per-unit administration cost. Wide format ink costs alone can represent 20 to 40% of total print production costs depending on printer type and substrate, so negotiating a better rate or committing to larger ink volumes can make a meaningful difference to the bottom line. ## **2. Optimise Your Printing Workflows** Take a step back and assess your production process from end to end. There are often efficiencies to be found in areas that have simply become a habit. Automation, for example, can reduce the manual input required per job, cut the risk of human error, and free up skilled time for more complex work. It may be worth speaking with your printer supplier to explore software or [workflow options](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/print-workflow-efficiency) that allow you to increase output while reducing manual steps. RIP (Raster Image Processing) software can also play a significant role here. Good RIP software gives you tighter control over ink usage, colour profiles, and job queuing, all of which contribute to lower running costs over time. If your current RIP software is dated or underused, it is worth reviewing whether it is working as hard as it could be for you. ## **3. Invest In High-Quality, Reliable Equipment** When your machines are down, production stops. Equipment downtime costs the average print business an [estimated £1,200 to £3,000](https://www.bpif.org.uk/industry-data/) per day in lost output. Investing in equipment from a trusted manufacturer with a strong service record and low cost of ownership reduces the risk of costly breakdowns and long lead times for parts. Energy efficiency is also worth factoring in. Modern wide format printers are significantly more efficient than older models, and the energy saving over a typical working life can be substantial. When evaluating equipment, look at total cost of ownership rather than purchase price alone. ## **4. Reduce Waste Through Better Job Planning** Wasted media is one of the most visible and controllable costs in any print operation. Media waste from poor nesting and job batching can account for 8 to 15% of total material spend. Batching and nesting jobs together, printing smaller jobs in the gaps around larger ones, and planning print runs to minimise offcuts all directly reduce the amount of media that ends up in the bin. Good finishing equipment also plays a role here. Accurate cutting reduces the risk of spoilage and allows tighter margins around each print, stretching your media further on every roll. ## **5. Maintain Your Equipment Regularly** [Preventative maintenance](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/maintenance-tips-for-smoother-printer-operations-and-performance) costs far less than reactive repairs. Regular cleaning of print heads, replacing wiper blades and capping stations on schedule, and keeping up with firmware updates all extend the working life of your machines and reduce the frequency of print failures that result in wasted media, ink, and time. ## **6. Choose Quality Media Over Cheap Alternatives** It can be tempting to reduce media spend by switching to lower-cost substrates, but cheaper materials often compromise quality and increase the risk of job failures. A job that has to be re-run costs you twice: once in the original media and ink, and again in the replacement. Over time, the cost of job failures typically outweighs whatever saving was made on the cheaper material. Choosing quality, consistent media from a reputable supplier gives you predictable results, reduces reprints, and protects your reputation with customers. ## **7. Review Your Ink Consumption** Ink is often the highest ongoing consumable cost in wide format printing, and there is more room to manage it than many print businesses realise. Profiling your printer correctly for each substrate, using the right ICC profiles, and avoiding unnecessary over-saturation can reduce ink consumption without any visible impact on output quality. Some RIP software includes ink saving modes that can further reduce consumption on appropriate job types. Keeping your ink at the right temperature, storing it correctly, and rotating stock to avoid wastage from expired cartridges are also habits worth building into your operation. ## **Start Saving On Printing Costs With Signmaster** Knowing [how to save on printing costs](https://www.signmaster.co.uk/collections/supplies) is not about cutting corners.
