a general rules is
laser printer bw ~5c a page (2000 pages per cart
injet color ~15/20c a page (150/200 pages per set of ink carts)
where it can differ is:
draft print = less usage
high quality/photo = more usage
text only = least usage

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any tips on calculating how myuch a page cost to print or photocopy?

ie Is there any software or scanner application that can tell you how much of each colour is on the page?

Is it possible to calculate using software like Graphic Converter?

I do have a very general publication from canon that gives a rough idea but I'm looking for something more soecific.

Thanks in anticipation
