SHEETS, SETS, & PAGES?

What does it all mean?

We strive to make the ordering process as smooth as possible.
Below is clarification on some of the terms used in the Print Services Portal.
Contact us at printservices@berksiu.org with questions.

Confusing these terms when entering your order will make the cost multiply! Requesting 100 copies of 1 page looks quite expensive when entered as 100 copies of 100 pages. 
Entering the information correctly will expedite your project and reduce confusion, ensuring we can do it right the first time.
Sometimes we can figure it out. Sometimes we can't which leads to mistakes and waste. Hopefully the following information helps to clarify the ordering process...

Definitions

Sets: This is the number of copies you are requesting of the originals.

Pages: This is the total number of pages in your electronic document(s) or hard copy originals.

Sheets per Set: This is the number of physical sheets of paper needed to print your original 1 time.
If printing single sided this should match the number of pages in your document(s).
If printing double sided it's half the number of pages in your document. 

For example: a 48 page document printed double sided on Letter Size uses 24 sheets of paper.
(Bonus math! If making a booklet divide your pages by 4, using only 12 sheets of Tabloid Size.)

When entering your order, our software multiplies the SHEETS x SETS to estimate your price.
If you are still unsure, please enter comments in the notes field to help us make corrections.
