Estimate Specification Input Prompts:

  1. Number Up
  2. Number of 1-sided originals running as 1-sided (results in 1 sheet and 1 click per unit) Most common for 1 sided digital work
  3. Number of 1-sided originals running as 2-sided (results in 1/2 sheet and 1 click per unit)
  4. Number of 1-sided color clicks (deducts from black)
  5. Number of 2-sided originals running as 1-sided (results in 2 sheets and 2 clicks per unit)
  6. Number of 2-sided originals running as 2-sided (results in 1 sheet and 2 clicks per unit) Most common for 2 sided digital work
  7. Number of 2-sided color clicks (deducts from black)
  8. Units/Hr (if UPH adjust selected)
  9. J% (if J% adjust selected)
  10. Spoilage %
  11. Remarks
  12. Memo


Calculation:

(Number of 1-sided originals) + (Number of 2-sided originals) = Total Originals

Minutes First + (Total Originals - 1) x Minutes Repeat = Setup Minutes

Number of 1-sided originals + (2 x Number of 2-sided originals) = Total Original Sides

Total Original Sides x (Deliver Units / (1 - run spoilage%)) / Number Up = Total Copies

[(Total 1 as 1 originals) + ((Total 1 as 2 originals)/2) + ((Total 2 as 1 originals)*2) + (Total 2 as 2 originals)] x (Deliver Units / (1 - run spoilage%)) / Number Up = Total Sheets

Deliver Units from next bindery operation in sequence. If no bindery, deliver units = quantity.

If paper costs are used in calc (not recommended, Legacy users only), then (Total Sheets/1000) x Paper Cost/M = Paper Cost

(Total Copies / Average Copies per Hour) + (Setup Minutes/60) = Standard Hours

Standard Hours x J% = Estimated Hours

(Estimated Hours x Rate) + (Meter Charge x Total Copies) + Paper Cost (Legacy Only) = Cost $

Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $

Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $

Note: Paper costs should be calculated separately using Calc 10 or 11
