Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the ink-run weigh ticket: your job | printed area per copy cm² | impressions stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Only count the area covered by this ink pass. After: the ink-run weigh ticket shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Production arithmetic only, not a chemical handling, ventilation, disposal or print-quality instruction. Follow the ink safety data sheet and shop procedures, and use a qualified print technician for exposure controls. It does not calculate screen cleanup, solvent exposure or reclaimed ink.

No AI service or account is required: manual entry completes the same free core calculation. Do not paste private or sensitive data. Review every value against the source before using it.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a ink-run weigh ticket. Return plain rows only: job | printed area per copy cm² | impressions. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
