Paper Stack in Print was designed for people working in the printing house. The author himself ran a small DTP business and has repeatedly encountered this kind of situation:
Here is a pile of paper. The sheet size is known or it can be easily measured. The grammage and the stack’s weight are also known. We need to calculate the value which is crucial for the printer – the number of sheets of the paper in the stack.
There are several ways to perform this operation. You can measure the height of the stack and with an appropriate tool determine the exact thickness of a single page. You can also count the pieces by hand.
Additionally, weight, grammage and the size of a sheet can be used in calculation – this is a method used in our application.

Paper Stack in Print is an extremely simple and easy to use application. It offers one small function. However, this function must be performed repeatedly, so it is a better and more elegant solution than any other.
