About These Estimates

Ink usage varies based on mesh count, squeegee pressure, ink viscosity, and substrate.

Coverage estimates are industry averages for screen printing on cotton.

Waste % accounts for ink left in screens, on squeegees, and setup/cleanup.

Always mix slightly more than estimated — running short mid-job is costly.
