- Enter the number of print positions and cost of each blank item.
- Set screen setup and per-colour running rates.
- Include rejected blanks, packing and delivery.
Before you quote a customer
Special inks, underbases, repeat orders, shared screens, curing methods and material type can change prices. Confirm your shop's screen requirement.
Use your own shop rates. The calculator is a planning estimate, not a supplier price feed, accounting invoice or guarantee of printing-machine suitability.
