Ink Coverage Calculator / meter

1205 views2 repliesLast post: 11/7/2006
Hello everybody,

Few day ago, I bought a printer to print lot of document, CD etc. for me and for my friends.
I also bought a CISS to print freely. But a question made me thoughtful "What was the ink coverage of my document/photo?" As you know all printers are selling with this words "1000 pages with %5 coverage or 3000 pages ...." ok but how could I measure it?

After passed few days on Internet I've seen that Ink Coverage Calculator made by APFill is almost one hand! As if nobody wondering the measure and nobody create a application to do that :-(

Then I decided to make this script on-line and FREE !!! I've written in PHP. You upload your JPG and in few second you receive the results ex:
Results:
Cyan %6
Magenta %4
Yellow %20
Black %80

have a look this address and give me your opinions

Which printer are you referring as there is a freeware counter for the Epson at http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml

DB's counter worked well for me and the one Rob mentioned seems to be a dead link.
