Total ink coverage plug-in for InDesign

Report · Mar 28, 2023

Hi! New upcoming EU legislations require that all packaging materials made of plastic only has an overall print coverage of a maximum of 60%. Does anyone know if there is a useful plugin for InDesign (or Acrobat) that can measure the overall color/print coverage of a packaging design? Also if it within that potential solution would be possible to exclude colors when measuring, e.g. to exclude transparent (greyed out areas) or white (paper/plastic)? Thanks.

Anything over the margin would be useful to me.

I work with very strict guidelines, a pixel over the margin/text frame is not allowed.

I'm very interested in this approach.
