TAC Calculator
Enter your planned C, M, Y and K percentages to get the total ink coverage (TAC) and compare it with BoxCheck's default limit for your print method. No PDF needed.
100% TAC
Within the 240% default for this profile.
Default TAC: 240% — BoxCheck's working value for this profile, not a universal industry limit. The real limit depends on the printing process, substrate, ink system, color profile/workflow and your printer's specification — ask your printer.
This is a manual estimate from the percentages you enter — it does not read a PDF. To check an actual file's real ink coverage (measured from the artwork, not typed in), use the full checker.
