Average printing cost per page = selling price of consumables/corresponding printing quantity.
Generally speaking, the market price of consumables has been obtained at the time of purchase. Most printers come standard with a set of consumables, but the capacity of some random consumables is different from that of standard consumables. If they have the same capacity, users can calculate according to the price of standard consumables, and finally count the printing quantity. If it is different, users will make statistics after using random consumables and replacing standard capacity consumables.
For a black-and-white laser printer, it is necessary to count the actual total printing amount of a set of toner cartridges, that is, the printing amount of users in the actual use environment.
For color inkjet printers and color laser printers, it is difficult to count the printing quantity of black and color. The simple method is to roughly count all the printing quantities, and remove the cost of consumables used in a period of time to print the quantities. The average printing cost per page is obtained. This method is only suitable for roughly calculating the printing cost of a single page, and it is also suitable for calculating the printing cost in the actual use environment. Although the numerical value is not accurate, if we use different printing equipment to calculate the printing cost, we will know which product has low printing cost by comparison, which is of great significance to the later procurement.
The concept of average printing cost per page is more suitable for practical use environment. On the premise of not wasting consumables and paper, it is relatively easy to get the average printing cost per page, which is helpful for buyers to know the monthly printing volume, consumables consumption and purchasing cost under specific working environment, and also helps to have an objective understanding of the post-printing cost of products. After long-term accumulation, they can get a more valuable buying experience.
