Quick answer: Send your platesetter or imager model, ink type, plate size list and monthly volume — we reply with a firm written price, lead time and freight to your port. Small volumes are quoted too.
Key takeaways
- A complete spec list gets a firm written price quickly — equipment model, ink type, plate sizes, monthly volume and destination port.
- The written quotation states price, lead time and freight together, so quotes do not come back with hidden costs later.
- Small volumes are quoted too; MOQ and lead time are confirmed in the quotation.
- Plate buyers can add trial plates of the quoted grade before the volume order.
Asking for a quote should not mean a long sales process. Buyers tell us quotes come back with hidden costs, or that their volume may be too small to quote. What you want is a firm price with lead time and freight — and that is what a complete spec list gets you.
What to send for a fast quote
- Offset plates: plate size and thickness list, current grade, monthly usage, destination port.
- Flexo plates: imaging route (analog or digital), processing method, gauge, substrate and ink.
- CTP machines: format (4-up / 8-up), plate size range, monthly volume, automation needs, destination.
