A sales representative from EPS visited a long-time customer, initially concerned they had switched pad suppliers. During the visit, the representative discovered the customer had actually remained loyal and achieved approximately 250,000 cycles per pad by implementing our recommended pad-rotation method. Over two years, this practice saved the customer roughly $12,000 annually.
The representative had prepared competitive pricing strategies but realized the customer valued the superior product quality and complimentary expert guidance so highly that they would have paid premium prices. The outcome highlighted how proper pad maintenance and care significantly extend product lifespan, though actual pad longevity varies based on ink type, substrate, and maintenance practices.
These same pads can also wear out after 50,000 imprints. The difference is operator discipline and the rotation schedule.
