Cost of Printing
We do not count on information given by manufacturers. Our lab checks the cost of print by using standardized documents. A complete set of cartridges is used until empty or the printer refuses to continue printing.
If a printer has several exchangeable cartridges, we determine the unused inks with a precision scale, and consider their value when calculating the cost of print.
Our testdocuments
DC-Farbfoto: dc_fotoyield.tif.
- Druckerchannel-Leerdrucktest dc_leerdruck_5p.pdf (right side), is used to check out the range of ink or toner printing text.
- Druckerchannel-Foto-Reichweitentest dc_fotoyield (left side), is used to check out the yield of ink or toner printing a photo.
Low yield - expensive print
Low priced color laserprinters usually print more expensively than high class models, due to the manufacturers pricing policies: Cartridges with low content of toner are sold at relativly high prices.
Positive example is HP`s Color Laserjet 2700. It ships with cartridges with high yield, and cost of print of monochrome text is a match-winning 1,9 Cent per page.
Details on cost of print are shown in the table and the bar charts below. Cost of paper is not included.

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.
