Friend:
It is fairly common for printer manufacturers, when stating the number
of copies one can expect to obtain from a toner cartridge, to specify a
standard density of printing, e.g., "the cartdridge will print xx,xxx
copies at five percent density". Does anyone have any information on
the density of music--what a typical density for a hymnal page, compared
to a choral octavo, compared to a piano score, compared to string
quartet, compared to a single instrumental part.
In the event no one has any information on such comparisons, is anyone
aware of an inexpensive shareware program which would open a printer
file, and process it, calculating the density of coverage?
I hypothesize that music is perhaps only 20 to 40 percent as dense as
text, that is, where a standard page of a text document might be five
percent density, that a page of music might be only one or two, and
therefore, the number of pages one could print from a single cartridge
might be significantly higher than the manufacturer's number.
