There are several ways to set up the cost of a digital press, depending on how you calculate:

• If your cost-per-click agreement includes color, leave the fields "Color Weight" and "Price Color" empty.
• If your cost-per-click agreement does not include color, fill in "Color Weight" and "Price Color".
• You can use an hourly cost instead of a click cost.

Do not combine hourly cost with click cost. You may add a color cost to the hourly cost if needed.

Create a test calculation that includes your new work object and verify the result.
