is is so you can enter the number of passes the printer makes when printing color pass or the
white pass (if printing white). With some printers you select the number of passes when you
print (or in the general tab), but some printers can control the number of passes internally. For
this reason the number of passes you use with print jobs should be set manually in the costing
interface and match the number of passes you use when you print.
Note: You can always change this on a job by job basis or you can setup different queues, say one for 2 white
passes when doing black shirts and another queue with 1 white pass when doing lighter colored shirts.

With all inkjet printers, there is a certain quantity of ink waste that occurs during head cleaning
and other routine maintenance tasks. e amount of ink used in these tasks will depend upon
the printer and also the amount its used (the more you print, normally the lower the ink wastage
as an overall percentage). Entering a % in this field will add this to the total ink used and effect
the cost, so you can factor in the running costs including head cleaning and other maintenance.

All printing requires some labour, from loading the materials, to pre treatments, lamination and
packaging for shipping. You have three ways you can calculate this.
Per Unit, is a fixed price per print and typically used for T-shirts and oth- `
er fixed price items when the labour is typically the same for each item.
Per Square foot, will calculate the price based on the actual area printed `
using the value per square foot.
Per Square Meter, will calculate the price based on the actual area printed `
using the value per square Meter.
