Comparative Test 9 ink All-in-Ones up to 200 Euros: Cost of print
Hinweis: Für mindestens einen in diesem Artikel erwähnten Drucker ist der ausführliche Testbericht "Multifunktion für wenig Geld" verfügbar.
If you plan to purchase a printer or AIO, we always suggest to take a close look at printing costs before you buy.
DC is one of the few labs which do real tests to determine cost of print. We do not rely on what manufacturers tell us. In the table below you will see that printing costs vary considerably, and you better find out about that prior to spending money on a "cheap" machine that will cost you lots of cash later.

This overview (table below) shows, that both Epson-AIOs come out with the lowest cost per page. HPs Officejet 6500A E710a still is in the low cost area. Both Canon-AIOs print pretty pricy. And Brothers and Lexmarks prints are very expensive.

The table above is available in German only. The column on the left side shows price per page with our test document 'DC-Textseite' when printing 10.000 pages of text, the right column when printing 'DC-Farbfoto' and 1.000 photos in color.
Remaining-ink-messages
When testing yield our lab prints the test documents until the ink tanks are empty. This may be indicated by a printers message e.g. "Ink status" (see photos below). If no mesage appears, as with HP, we print until print results start to become faint.

Kosten & Starterreichweite
In die Druckkosten kalkulieren wir anteilig verbrauchte Materialien auch nur anteilig hinein. Weiterhin berücksichtigt Druckerchannel die Starterreichweiten - diese werden vom Druckvolumen abgezogen und reduzieren somit die durchschnittlichen Seitenkosten.
