The Real Cost of a Printer

It can be a little deceiving to determine your true consumable expense with laser printers. The toner cartridges will provide many thousands of pages, but you must also factor in the expense of replacing fuser assemblies and drums to get a true TCO. The Solid Ink printers will also require maintenance kits that will need to be used every 10,000 to 40,000 pages. The cost for these maintenance kits can be as low as half a cent per page.
