Fields:
Description
The description placed here will be the description shown on the quote, work order and invoice. The description can be longer than the line shown on the job sheet. If the description is longer than the line it will wrap as many times as necessary to fit onto the quote, work order or invoice. It is the line searched when using the search engine to find archived jobs. However, it should be concise and if possible it should fit on this line.
It can contain names and quantities if necessary, although the quantity fields also appear on the printed orders and reports.
Originals
The term "Originals" refers to the number of items the customer wants copied, printed or changed in some way. For example, if the customer brings in five 5.5 x 8.5 pages with text on both sides, that will be 5 originals not 10. If, however, the customer brings in some pages of text and several pictures or graphics and wants them placed on two sides of one sheet, that will be one original. If he wants them placed on one side of one sheet, that will be one original. If he wants them placed on one side of two sheets, that will be two originals.
Copies
The term "Copies" refers to the number of sheets, per original, the customer will carry away when the job is done. If the customer wants one copy of 5 originals the number of copies is one. If he wants 2000 copies of 2 originals the number of copies is 2000.
Finished Size
This is the size of the sheet the customer wants when the job is complete.
Stock Size
This is the size of the paper used on the press. It can be later cut into smaller pieces or trimmed to produce the finished size.
Up
This refers to the number of finished size pieces that will be printed on one stock size sheet.
Cuts
This is the number of cuts necessary to convert the stock size to the finished size.
Sheets
The number of stock size sheets necessary to produce the originals times the copies given the number of finished size up on the stock size. If the customer wants 2000 copies of 10 originals which are 8.5"x11", and the stock being used on the press is 8.5"x11"; the number up would be 1 (one piece of stock yields one finished sheet); the number of cuts would be 0; the number of sheets would be (2000 x 10 =) 20,000. If the finished size in the above example was 5.5"x8.5", there would be 2 up (one piece of stock yields two finished sheets) and 1 cut and the number of sheets would be 10,000.
