Duty Cycle is the amount of time a printer is actually printing each day. Most printer manufacturers advertise a 25% duty cycle–their printers print 25% of an 8 hour day (2 hours) based on an 8 hour day, 22 days per month. OTC printers using TriMatrix® technology operate on a 100% duty cycle–you can print non-stop, 8 hours each day, all month long if you need to.
