Calculation:


Colors Side A + Colors Side B (divided by 2 if Work and Turn or Work and Tumble) = Total Colors

Total Colors x Idents (or override) = Total Plates

Minutes First + (Total Plates - 1) x Minutes Repeat = Standard Minutes

Standard Minutes / 60 x J% = Estimated Hours

Estimated Hours x Rate = Cost $

Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $

Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $
