How much does it cost you to print?

I would love to know any calculations any of you have done on what it costs to print 100 pages.

$1.37 (1/2 letter & 1/2 legal). That’s hard cost & excludes depreciation of equipment & my labor cost. Suggest you set up an Excel spread sheet.

For monochrome, I use 6000 page cartridges @ ~$150 ($0.025/page) and paper @ ~$30-60/case ($0.006-$0.012/page).

Other things (fuser rollers, electricity, maintenance, depreciation) can factor in, so I ball parked those at $0.015/page

When I bill clients, I usually go with $0.045 per page/face for monochrome. My color printing is $0.215 per page/face.

FYI, I use the term face to allow me to bill appropriately on double sided printing.

HWB.
