APFill - Ink and Toner Coverage Calculator 5.5

The first thing you need to know about the AVPSoft-developed application APFill is what it is and what it can do. I will try to provide you with a to the point and succinct answer. So here goes: APFill is a Windows utility that calculates the amount of ink or toner needed to print pages; the application also calculates the cost of printing pages.

The second thing you need to know about APFill, this ink and toner coverage calculator, is that it is not exactly meant to be used by regular computer users at home. Who is meant for then? APFill is meant to be used by businesses who do a lot of printing or print shops. The functionality APFill provides will help them assess how much ink/toner will be used and how much printing pages will cost.

The third thing you need to know about APFill is that developer AVPSoft has two versions of this application to offer: APFill Standard and APFill Pro. The Standard version can calculate RGB coverage for PDF/PS files, can measure the ink coverage of the highlighted screen area, and can measure average document coverage. The Pro version can do all these things, and it can also calculate separated CMYK + 8 additional color spots coverage for PDF/PS files.
