About this calculator

How to use

Enter page count, imposition, number of copies, and waste percentage. The calculator returns the total sheets required for the job including waste.

What the results mean

You get the number of press sheets to order or run. This drives paper order quantity and press time. Waste is included so you have enough for setup and spoilage.

Common mistakes

Using page count before folding (e.g. 64 leaves vs 128 pages) will halve or double sheets. Forgetting waste leads to short runs. Wrong imposition (e.g. 16 vs 32) changes sheet count significantly.
