4.68. How do I enter inks into the foils/ribbons/inks database?

I need to enter inks into the foils/ribbons/inks database for use in the digital printing section of EstiMate. How do I do it?

To enter an ink simply click the book icon to the right of the Foils/Ribbons/Inks dropdown to access the database. Click the 'new' button to create a new entry. Enter a description for the ink, select a supplier if desired, and in the height and width fields enter a height and width dimensions which multiply out to the sq.ft. coverage a bottle or cartridge can cover.

Put in your cost and markup for the ink and in the "min. sq in. this foil must print" box put in the number 1.
Click the green checkmark twice to return to the digital print screen.

Alternatively you could access the database by clicking Edit
Data Files > Ingredients > Vinyls from EstiMate's main screen.

In this way you may enter your inks as you need them.
