How Much Ink Is Needed for a Book?

Each book will have a different content and it's the content that will determine how much ink is used. We looked at the text data that was supplied and we could see how much of the text was comprised of images, how much was writing. So just by looking at that and the amount of images, we could give a really rough estimate because there's the printing process here. There's big reels. It's not like little packs of ink. And then I care about the area of the print, just the amount of it. This is not a thing that they have to work out. The maths of the book is the ink. That's what you're getting for your money.
