Overview

PriceWiz is an on‑screen calculator. Available from any Service Configuration window, you combine a few services and test pricing at multiple quantity breaks without building a full quote. Use it to spot‑check mark‑ups, plate costs, and difficulty factors while you fine‑tune service defaults.

How It Works

The PriceWiz pop‑up has three panels:

1. Step 1 – Set Specs – choose quantity breaks, sides, markup level, coverage, registration, washes, mixes, and bleeds.
2. Step 2 – Select Services – pick a paper, press, plate, and one “other” service to build a simple test item.
3. Step 3 – Compare Prices – view calculated price vs. a manual target; PriceWiz shows the dollar and percentage difference.

Step‑by‑Step Guide

1. Setup Print Specifications

• QBreak – number of quantity breaks (5, 10, etc.).
• Side 1 / Side 2 – printing properties for each side.
• Markup – choose price level (Bid, Rush, Special).
• Coverage & Registration – pull difficulty factors from the press’s table.
• Wash, Mix, Bleed – optional adjustments that can affect price.

2. Select Services

• Pick one Paper, one Press, one Plate, and optionally one other service.
• This lightweight combo is enough to preview item‑level pricing.

3. Compare Prices

• PriceWiz lists each quantity break with the calculated price.
• Enter a Target price to see the variance (% and $).

Key Points

• PriceWiz is ideal for quick price checks while configuring services.
• It never changes service defaults or saves customer data.
• Use Target to benchmark calculations against desired pricing.
