Overview
This topic describes how to update a Copy Product or create a new one. Copies are different from Offset and Digital. They're priced per copy. Here the product alone determines the price. Well, almost anyway. There is one minor contribution coming from the Copier itself . . . the time spent feeding the original document. With multiple copies made from a single original, that usually adds mere pennies to the total. Multiple originals, on the other hand, can significantly increase the price per copy.
Say the order calls for 1,000 copies from a single original. You're charging 8 cents per copy, plus 20 cents per original for placing the original document on the glass by hand (set in My Shop > Presses). Total cost: $80.20. Now change that to a single copy each from 1,000 originals, and watch the total cost jump to $280.00.
Product Selection Window
| 1. |  Click the My Store button, then click My Products. |
| 2. | In the Product Selection window, click Copies in the black category panel. |
| 3. |   Click either the Add button to create a new Copy Product, or the Update button to edit an existing one. For this demonstration, we'll add a new product, based on Copies, C1/1, RIP over which we've placed the highlight bar. |
New Copy Window
| 4. | Enter the Name, then click the Sheetsize buttons if you need to change sizes. |
| 5. | Left-click the Coverage slider to increase Toner Coverage, right-click the slider to decrease it. Click one of the three radio buttons to select an alternate range. |
The prices we'll enter in the next step are for 8-1/2 x 11 (or A4) copies with 30% coverage, printed one side. If we change the size to 11 x 17 (or A3), Morning Flight will double the price per copy. If we change coverage, the program will compensate for that as well. When updating standard Copy Products (those with a circle in front in the Product Selection window), you'll discover that Sheetsize and Coverage are locked and can't be changed. That's what makes a standard product a standard.
| 6. | Click the Prices button. |
Copy Prices Window
| 7. | Enter Minimum amount per quote and RIP charges, if applicable. |
| 8. | Change the Quantity fields, if necessary, then enter Prices per Copy, size 8-1/2 x 11 (or A4), with 30% ink coverage, copied one side. |
When you change a quantity in one of the white boxes, the quantity displayed in black on gray above it will update automatically. In other words, when you increase the quantity in the white box from 50 to 500, the black on gray quantity will increase from 49 to 499. Make it a habit to always click the Sort button (third from the left) before clicking Ok. Morning Flight will sort anyway before accepting your entries, but clicking the Sort button beforehand will show you the results of the sort.
| 9. | Click the Packaging button and select the type of packaging. |
