Ink Coverage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Ink Coverage (IC):

\[ IC = W \times H \times \left( \frac{CP}{100} \right) \]

Where:

\( IC \) is the Ink Coverage (square inches)
\( W \) is the width of the sheet (inches)
\( H \) is the height of the sheet (inches)
\( CP \) is the coverage percentage (%)

What is Ink Coverage?

Ink coverage is the area of a sheet that will be covered by ink when printing. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the total sheet area. Knowing the ink coverage is important for estimating the amount of ink required for a print job, which can help in cost calculation and ensuring the quality of the print.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Width of the Sheet \( W \) = 8.5 inches
Height of the Sheet \( H \) = 11 inches
Coverage Percentage \( CP \) = 50%

Step 1: Use the IC calculation formula:

\[ IC = 8.5 \times 11 \times \left( \frac{50}{100} \right) = 93.5 \text{ square inches} \]

The Ink Coverage is 93.5 square inches.
