Screen Print Ink Estimator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates ink volume requirements for screen printing production runs.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise ink estimation for screen printing operations. It accounts for print area, coverage rates, color counts, and production waste to ensure accurate material ordering. Use calculate_ink_by_color to determine specific volumes for each ink component, or get_production_totals for the aggregate volume of a full run. It also includes tools like get_setup_impact to account for ink used during calibration and validate_coverage_parameters to ensure mathematical accuracy in your production planning.

calculate_ink_by_color

Determines the specific amount of ink required for each individual color in a print job

get_production_totals

Provides the aggregate ink requirement for an entire production run

get_setup_impact

Calculates how much additional ink is consumed solely by the testing/calibration phase

validate_coverage_parameters

Checks if the provided coverage and waste rates are within valid bounds

How much ink do I need for 500 shirts if each print is 10x10 inches, coverage is 50%, there are 3 colors, 5 test prints, and a 10% waste factor?

For a run of 500 shirts with those parameters, you will need 13.75 units of ink per color, with a total ink requirement of 41.25 units.

What is the total ink volume for a job with 100 units, 200 sq in area, 40% coverage, 2 colors, 2 test prints, and 5% waste?

The total ink volume required for this production run is 17.01 units.

How much ink is consumed just during the setup phase for 10 test prints?

The ink volume consumed during the setup and test phase is 4.2 units.

The tool uses a waste percentage input to add a buffer to the total volume, covering ink left in screens or accidental spills.
