I hypothesize that music is perhaps only 20 to 40 percent as dense as text, that is, where a standard page of a text document might be five percent density, that a page of music might be only one or two, and therefore, the number of pages one could print from a single cartridge might be significantly higher than the manufacturer's number.
In my extensive experience, I have always gotten *less* than the mfr.'s number of pages from each cartridge--typically 8K vs. 10K. However, it is my belief that this reflects a discrepancy between overoptimistic mfr. estimates and real world performance, not a greater consumption of toner by music as opposed to print.
It's like my Toyota Prius, which officially gets 60 mpg (govt. figures) but in real life gets "only" 40.
