No idea. I don't even remember what the salesman tells me anymore...$.50 or $.75 I was thinkin'. I could be way wrong though. I just plug all that info into Estimate, and it figures it out for me.

Unless I'm missing something, there is no way Estimate can figure that out for you... the numbers you would have to "plug in to estimate" are the numbers this thread is asking for, right?.
Once you know your costs on various materials and your labor costs on certain jobs, then Estimate can help price out finished jobs... but I don't see how it can figure price per foot for you.
By the way, I want to start using Estimate. I've owned it for years, but never took the plunge and started using it. They just sent me an email, stating that since 2.0 is a year old, they will quit selling plug-ins for it next month, and phase out tech support. Do you use 2.0, and if so, did you upgrade or buy 2.0 from the start? I hope to get some advice at some point, regarding the opportunity to upgrade my older version, before i bother learning it. Any opinions for me?

Depending on what rip you use you can use the ink calculator and figure out your sq. ft. pricing on the ink.

without all other overhead included.....
the cost of the ink, material, maintenance supplies, etc....truly it costs about $1-2 a square to operate the machine in a small/medium production shop.
really the ink is about .60 with heavy saturation, but with the whole ball of wax included, my opinion is that it costs $2 a square minimum, then add laminate.....and labor, and overhead...and then join in with the .99 a square guys...yeah!!!!

$2 per square foot? Thats either pricey shop space, or not alot of volume - or both!
We run aroud $1.2/sq running oem HS ink through our JV5 (including other misc. expenses)
If your running aftermarket inks for ~$100/l you can be looking to cut down your ink costs by as much a $.40-$.60/sq depending on your consumption and profile saturation.

well all shop space is pricey, labor is pricey, i just don't get how a pack of gum costs more than a square foot of vinyl, i have tried to comprehend it, and have decided that it just makes no sense....
it costs money to operate a machine, consumables, labor, parts, warranty, etc all add up, i know a guy near here that was selling at $2 a square "cause he could", first time a head went out he couldn't afford to fix it.....
