Screen printing ink consumption by print count

Set these parameters: “Mass per print”, “Additional allowance on required quantity”, “Fixed additional reserve”. In Numloom, enter “Number of prints” (prints) to obtain “Ink mass including allowance and fixed reserve” (g).

Calculations currently require access to Numloom on Google Play Internal Testing. iPhone and iPad support is planned.

How it works

Ink mass including allowance and fixed reserve = Number of prints × Mass per print × (1 + Additional allowance on required quantity ÷ 100) + Fixed additional reserve

In Numloom: “Number of prints” → “Ink mass including allowance and fixed reserve”.

prints → g

Mass per print · g/print
Additional allowance on required quantity · %
Fixed additional reserve · g

This page shows the formula and parameters. The calculation runs in Numloom.

Assumptions and limits

Calculation basis: “Number of prints” (prints) → “Ink mass including allowance and fixed reserve” (g). Use the parameters shown for this particular operation.

Measure consumption for this design and printing process. Allowance and fixed reserve are separate; a coefficient for ink does not describe powder or film.

Enter a whole number of the items counted.

Coefficient sources

Initial settings: Mass per print = 1 g/print (example in the original task description); Additional allowance on required quantity = 0 % (neutral initial setting); Fixed additional reserve = 0 g (neutral initial setting).

These starting values are not a standard, calibration certificate or manufacturer recommendation. Replace them with values measured for your process or specified for your product.
