Measuring the area of an artwork
For the purposes of silk screen printing, I would separate the artwork into individual layers based on color, convert all colors to black, and print each layer separately. In order to estimate the ink consumption, I'd like to determine the 'area' of black ink on each layer, sum them up, and compare the total ink usage to another artwork to identify which one requires more ink. This information is crucial for cost estimation purposes. Is there a method for determining the black ink area on each layer?
