Universal Print Glossary
An impression is a single instance of a document page put onto a piece of paper. For example, if you print 4 pages of a document on a single sheet of paper, that's 4 impressions but only 1 sheet.
A page is a single side of a sheet of paper.
- When printing a single-sided document, the number of pages and sheets is equal.
- When printing a double-sided document, there are two pages per sheet.
