Calculate toner or ink coverage from a pdf file.

Ink Coverage

Written for the Mac. Tiger, Leopard, Snow. Compiled universal binary runs on PowerPC and Intel. This program opens a print ready pdf and will calculate the ink or toner coverage of the file. A perfect solution for needing to know approximately how much a print job will cost before printing it. If you are printing a one sided 8.5x11 in full color it may not matter much - but what if you are printing 500 or a 1000 - then what?

This is a small easy to use application that does one thing - reads ink or toner coverage and gives you the calculated results based on the consumable costs. What if you receive a digital file that has a large solid black background?
Is that background color 100 percent black, or could it have 50 percent magenta and yellow as well?

• Takes the guess work out of estimating.
• Estimate your printing based on a tool that can measure coverage.
