Units of measurement

Values

Value	Description	Deprecated
CLICK	A billing counter rather than a physical measure: one metered page charged under a cost-per-click press or copier contract.
CM	Centimetres — metric length, a hundredth of a metre.
FT	Feet — imperial length, twelve inches.
G	Grams — metric mass, for light items stocked by weight.
IMPRESSION	A production counter rather than a physical measure: one pass of one sheet through a press. Distinct from SHEET, since a sheet printed on both sides can cost two impressions.
IN	Inches — imperial length, the unit paper sizes are quoted in outside metric markets.
KG	Kilograms — metric mass, the usual unit for reel and other bulk substrate stock.
LB	Pounds — imperial mass, roughly 0.45 kg.
M	Metres — metric length, the usual unit for material bought by the running metre such as a reel or a roll of laminate.
MM	Millimetres — metric length, a thousandth of a metre, and the granularity trim sizes and other sheet dimensions are normally given in.
OZ	Ounces — imperial mass, a sixteenth of a pound.
PC	Pieces: a plain count of discrete items, carrying no dimension at all. The unit stock and transfer quantities fall back to when none is given.
PT	Points — the typographic length unit of one seventy-second of an inch, used for type sizes and rule weights rather than for stock quantities.
SHEET	A count of substrate sheets, the usual unit for sheet-fed stock. Counts the physical sheets held or moved, not the press passes over them (see IMPRESSION).
