Total cost of printing (TCP).

Kornit's own name for everything a print costs beyond the consumables: administering the order, designing it, creating it, printing it, the pieces printed and binned, and delivering the result to whoever bought it. Kornit's glossary puts printing itself at 15% of that total and administration at 60%, which is a machine seller's split published to make the case for automation, so read it as their figure and not as an industry constant. The shape is the useful part. A shop measures the cost it can change least, because ink per square metre and film per sheet arrive on an invoice, while the order desk, the artwork fixes, the address corrections and the reprints sit inside salaries that never get allocated to a job. Cost per print is the denominator; TCP is the argument that the denominator is the small half.
