AIM Print Quote Calculator

v11.43 — Custom Book setup fee now auto-computes ($25 base + $10 per extra paper + $10 per extra print mode); manual override still available. | v11.42 — Added Custom Book tab for mixed-media books. Sheet-category table (paper + print mode + finished sheets/book, up to 8 rows) handles books where different pages use different papers/print modes. Configurable margin (50%/60%/67%/80%), outsourced binding with markup selector, cost breakdown per book + job totals + take-home margin. Built for jobs like a 342-page book with color inserts + BW body + specialty cover — the standard Booklet module can't handle those. | v11.41 — August 2026 Kelly catalog sync (partial): 80# Blanks USA Door Hanger prices raised — Standard (3502480) $0.0510 → $0.0548 (+7.4%), Jumbo (3502479) $0.0619 → $0.0666 (+7.5%). The two flagged 20# Kelly Copy decreases (1500102, 1500237) were reviewed and NOT applied. See automation/reports/2026-08-17_kelly_price_check.md. | v11.40 — Custom parent sheet override on Flat tab now handles small parents (≤ 13×19) correctly. If the custom parent fits inside any standard press size (e.g., 8.5×11 special stock), it's used directly as the press sheet with no cut — no more "doesn't fit any press size" error for small special stocks. | v11.39 — EDDM postage now auto-computes based on drop method: BMEU drop uses EDDM BMEU rate ($0.259/pc, USPS July 2026), Local PO drop uses EDDM Retail rate ($0.260/pc). Postage field is read-only when EDDM is selected. Drop method dropdown labels updated to make the postage-rate distinction explicit. | v11.38 — Envelope tab: added "Special envelope $/M" override (mirror of Flat's "Special paper $/M"). Enter a one-off Kelly price per 1,000 units and it replaces the stocked envelope cost for this quote only. Useful for non-stocked envelope styles or specialty colors. | v11.37 — Added Business Cards tab with fixed pricing (100/$25, 250/$35, 500/$55, 1000/$85, 2500/$174). Simple qty dropdown → fixed retail; standard customer discounts apply on top. | v11.36 — Added 80# Blanks USA Door Hanger (12×18 pre-perforated) to paper library: Standard ($0.0510/sheet, Kelly 3502480) and Jumbo ($0.0619/sheet, Kelly 3502479) variants. | v11.35 — Flat tab: print portion now floors at $20 (was previously only the total-job floor). Tiny jobs like 15pc of 8.5×11 that used to price at ~$16.54 print + $10 fold = $26.54 now correctly price at $20 print + $10 fold = $30. | v11.34 — Added School option to Wide Format, Design, and Outsource customer dropdowns (was silently defaulting to Retail = 0% off). School gets Non-profit rate: WF 40% + $25/60% floor, Design 20%, Outsource 20%. | v11.33 — July 2026 Kelly catalog sync: 23 paper/envelope/NCR prices updated. Envelope stocks up 5-12% (Kelly raised), NCR paper down ~11% (now correctly at × 0.85 discount, was full catalog). Text/Cover Gloss +2% quarterly drift. See automation/reports/2026-07-18_kelly_price_check.md for full details. | v11.32 — NCR pricing bug fix: NCR stock is precollated (Kelly sells $/M per assembled SET, not per individual sheet). Old code multiplied paper AND click by parts, doubling/tripling cost. Fixed: 1 precollated sheet = 1 unit; one imprint pass transfers to all parts via carbonless. A typical 1000-set 2-part 1/0 job now prices ~40% lower. | v11.31 — Custom parent mode now auto-picks the best press size (11×17 / 12×18 / 13×19) to cut the custom parent down to, and shows BOTH counts on the cost breakdown: press sheets to run + parent sheets to buy. Paper cost is based on parent sheets purchased; click cost on press sheets run. Imposition diagram shows the press-sheet layout (what actually goes through the press). | v11.30 — Custom parent mode now takes an optional paper-name text field. Displays that name (instead of the dropdown paper) on the parent-sheet line AND in the auto-generated quote description. | v11.29 — Custom parent sheet override on Flat tab: enter parent W, H, and $/sheet to bypass the paper library entirely. Calculator uses your dimensions for imposition and your $/sheet for cost. Useful for non-stocked stock or trade-priced sheets. | v11.28 — "Tax exempt" checkbox added to quote header. When checked, sales tax is $0 in cart + PDF (label reads "Tax exempt"). Use for Trade / Non-profit / School quotes. | v11.27 — Booklet picker keeps grain priority: when a paper has no 17×11 sheet in the needed grain (e.g. 100# Gloss Text), it steps up to 18×12 to preserve grain and adds a "Sheet note" explaining the oversized sheet. | v11.26 — Added "Special paper $/M" override boxes to Flat, Booklet (cover + inside), and NCR tabs for one-off Kelly special pricing. Enter the per-1,000-sheet price; leave 0 for normal stocked price. Applies to that quote only. | v11.25 — Added 60# Accent Opaque Text (11×17 stock 1301365, 12×18 stock 1301481) to paper library. Prices from Kelly catalog × 0.85.
