Concept optimisation in terms of costs and technology Apart from “hard facts” (i.e. final paper quality limits) the optimisation goals strongly depend on “soft facts”. One of them is the general mindset of the system buyer. Some of the decision makers look more at the initial investment cost than the operational cost over a certain
