The number of dies you need for each page is different than the number of types of dies you need to print any arbitrary page.
If there's a character for 'war', how many copies do you need? It'll change greatly depending on the subject matter, of course. But how many 'w's, 'a's and 'r's per page won't change to nearly the same extent.
