Cost
Caution
Starting with CalderaRIP V16.3 and CalderaDock V3.0, the CostView web module interface was deprecated. Also, with these versions, the CostEstimation option (CostView + CostProof) was retired.
CostProof alone was kept on CalderaRIP's Spooler, and, in the near future, other new tools for cost and ink consumption management will be available.
