How to calculate color toner and inkjet printers CPP


Since we have discussed the calculate method for the cost of monochrome inkjet and toner cartridgeprinting yesterday, let's talk about how to calculate the cost per page of color pages today. 

A color printer typically uses several cartridges to print a color page. Therefore, you must calculate cost per page of each color ink cartridges to estimate the cost per color page, then combine that figure with the black and white cost per page to get the final cost per color page. 

Let's make an example, if a cyan, magenta, and yellow color ink cartridges for an inkjet cartridge printer cost $10 each and last for about 500 pages each whereas a black ink cartridge costs $10 and has a page yield of 450 pages. Based on those figures, the final cost per color page calculation is equal to 8.2 cents per page (($10/500) + ($10/500) + ($10/500) + ($10/450) = $0.0822).

Please note that buying high capacity ink cartridge, the cost per page is typically lower than the regular capacity one due to its less frequent replacement.
