A Japanese collection of browser-based calculators for paper, booklet binding, print-file setup, color, and typography.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-21 issue.

For: Print designers and booklet prepress workers
Worth noticing: The total-ink calculator compares CMYK coverage with a stated 240–380% range from print-shop guides and Japan Color profiles.

Field notes

The homepage lists eight calculators, grouped by print task rather than presented as a single general-purpose converter. Several account for production details such as binding direction, printer-specific rounding, per-signature creep, and safe text area. The total-ink tool compares CMYK coverage with a 240–380% range attributed to print-shop guides and Japan Color profiles; the actual calculator interfaces are not visible in the supplied extract.
