Clicks
Industry term for a single printed or copied page, commonly used in billing and service contracts.
Detailed Explanation
Clicks is the industry slang for individual printed or copied pages. The term is ubiquitous in copier service contracts, billing, and cost analysis. A "click charge" refers to the per-page cost under a service agreement. Color clicks typically cost 3-5 times more than black and white clicks due to the use of four toner colors versus one. Some contracts count duplex (two-sided) pages as two clicks (one per side), while others count them as one click, so it's important to understand how your contract defines clicks.
Examples
- Black & white click: $0.01-0.02
- Color click: $0.05-0.10
- Monthly click volumes determine pricing tiers
