Different design sizes can fit different numbers of copies. Check the preview rather than assuming a fixed number fits.\n\nUse the minimum, setup charges, and current prices shown for your selected order. A sheet-count example is not a minimum-order promise.\n\n| Setting | What it means | Example only |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Copies per sheet | How many prints fit on one sheet | 4 copies |\n| Sheet quantity | How many sheets you buy | 10 sheets |\n| Total prints | Copies per sheet × sheet quantity | 4 × 10 = 40 prints |\n\n![Four design copies on a sheet multiplied by ten sheets gives forty individual prints.](/images/help/sheet-count-diagram.svg)\n\nExample only: copies per sheet × sheets = total prints.
