| Calculations | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| To convert millimeters to inches | millimeters x .03937 = inches | 110mm x .03937 = 4.33″ |
| To convert inches to millimeters | inches / .03937 = millimeters | 4.33″ / .03937 = 110 mm |
| To convert meters to feet | meters x 3.28 = feet | 360m x 3.28 = 1181′ |
| To convert feet to meters | feet / 3.28 = meters | 1181′ / 3.28 = 360m |
Calculate Your Ribbon Price:
(price per msi/0.6445) x ribbon width mm x ribbon length m x .001 = Price per Roll
Example – ($0.135/0.6445) x 110mm x 300m x .001 = $6.91/roll
Calculate Your MSI Price:
Ribbon Roll Price/((ribbon width mm x ribbon length m x .001)/0.6445) = Ribbon msi Price
Example – $6.91/((110mm x 300m x .001)/0.6445) = $0.135 msi
Calculate the Number of Ribbons Needed for a Job:
You have 500,000 labels, 4″ width x 6″ length, printer is a Zebra, the ribbon length is 300 meters or 984 feet. There is a 1/8″ (.125) gap between the labels.
500,000 labels x 6.125″ (label length + gap) = 3,065,000″
984′ x 12″ = 11,808″
3,065,000″ / 11,808″ = 259 ribbons needed for the job
