What is the real cost of an inkjet or a laser printer?
The ink you buy for your printer usually comes in tiny containers, called cartridges, that hold about an ounce of ink. They sell for about $30 each. There are 128 ounces in a gallon, so the ink in your inkjet cartridges actually has an equivalent cost of about $3,840 per gallon. It’s just ink, not liquid gold! Laser printers cost more to buy but much less to use.
With all costs figured in, each document page printed on a typical laser printer costs from 2 cents to 5 cents; on an inkjet, the cost per page can run from 10 cents to 15 cents, depending on the model. (This does not even count the cost of photo printing, which can cost up to a dollar per page on an inkjet when you include the high cost of photo paper and the additional ink that’s used in that mode.)
