8. Settings

Settings is where you tell InkTrack about your shop. These values power every cost and profit calculation, so it's worth setting them up carefully once.


Machine

Enter your printer's purchase price, lifespan, and annual hours. InkTrack spreads the cost across jobs so each project carries a fair share.

Machine configuration

Ink costs

Set the price and capacity for each ink color channel. This is how per-job ink cost is calculated.

Ink cost per channel

Channel Color
C Cyan
M Magenta
Y Yellow
K Black
W White
GL Gloss
FW Flex White

Labor & overhead

Set your hourly labor rate and an overhead % to cover rent, power, and other running costs.

Margins & currency

Choose your currency and the margin thresholds that decide the profit badges (Strong / Target / Minimum / Loss).

Auto-maintenance sync

Turn on a daily automatic maintenance log and pick the time — keeps ink levels accurate without manual entry.

Backup & restore (admin)

Download a backup of your data, or restore from one. Admins can also reset the database.

Backup and restore

⚠️ Note: Reset and restore replace your data. Take a backup first.

💡 Tip: Update prices whenever ink or material costs change — new projects use the latest numbers automatically.
