I am not exactly sure about this. I found this on the internet regarding 'VBC.' It seems like, because of only counting 'visible black characters,' (no spaces) that it might be difficult to make your line requirements each day. Also, 31% from .08 per line isn't very much. Wouldn't that amount to approximately .055 per line if you subract the '31%?'
In the unit of measurement white paper (Appendix A), a calculation of equivalencies among various production measurements yields a difference of about 31 percent between the AAMT line (65 characters with spaces) and the VBC line. Roughly speaking, the per-line rate would have to be 31 percent higher for the VBC count for MT payment to be equivalent to the 65-character line payment. Here, an MT earning 9 cpl under the traditional line calculation would have to earn 11.8 cpl in the VBC count to make the same amount of money. Payment of 10 cpl on a VBC line is equivalent to about 7 cpl in the familiar 65-character line count.
