Note: the ink quantity shown is a theoretical estimate based on printed area, ink coverage and deposit (µm).
Print area + theoretical ink estimate for screen printing
Import your PDF, pick pages, then get the area per page and the total area (m² / cm²). The table also estimates ink coverage (%) from a white-background render. Finally, Serico provides a theoretical ink estimate in grams based on mesh, substrate and deposit (µm).
Use cases
- Prepare a quote: area × quantity (+ workshop variables)
- Compare formats and placements before production
- Approximate ink consumption (indicative), then refine with workshop feedback
