    What is the cost per page on the Color LaserWriter 12/600PS printer?

DISCUSSION

    The exact cost per page depends on the percentage of black and color coverage you want. Below is a chart containing some sample page coverage amounts with the estimated street price for consumables factored in.

    Type of Printout
    Page Coverage
    Cost per page
    Black & White 5% (Typical business letter) $.03 US
    Black & White 7.5% (Informal letter) $.05 US
    Color 20% (Typical proposal including a chart, a small graphic, and text) $.13 US
    Color 58% (Complex desktop publishing page) $.35 US
    Color 77% (Presentation page with a large photo or background, graphic, and text) $.46 US


    Costs may vary. The color blue is made from different percentages of cyan and magenta. If a file contains blue instead of cyan, the cost is higher as more magenta is applied. There is no 100% coverage information since 100% of all colors would produce a solid "muddy" brown/black page.
