==== Transfer volume ==== Transfer volume is the volume of ink that will be transferred per unit surface area of paper. The European standard for transfer volume is cm<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup> or cubic centimetre per square meter, which means 1 cm<sup>3</sup> of ink will be transferred onto 1 m<sup>2</sup> of paper. Sometimes ink suppliers will give a recommended transfer weight per square meter, expressed in g/m<sup>2</sup>. This can be converted to cm<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup> by dividing by the density of the ink in g/cm<sup>3</sup>. The American standard for transfer volume is a billion cubic microns per square inch, typically written as BCM / in<sup>2</sup>, BCM/sq in, or BCM. A cubic micron (μm<sup>3</sup>) is a unit of volume and one billion cubic microns (1 000 000 000 μm<sup>3</sup>) is equal to 0.001 cm<sup>3</sup>. Since one square meter is equal to 1550 square inches, it follows that <u>1 BCM/in<sup>2</sup> = 1.55 cm<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup></u>.
