Todo o mundo Ink tank printers are ideal for those who print a lot on a daily basis. If you’re the type of user who only prints once a week, this might not be for you. But if you’re frustrated with having to replace ink cartridges weekly, ink tanks are the way to go.
How to Save on Ink Refills
Inkjet printers, ink tank or not, use a lot of ink. Just when you think it’ll be awhile before you have to refill a color, the empty light flashes. To cut down costs on ink refills, check out aftermarket alternatives. They provide the same print results at a lower price. Here’s a table that shows the price comparison of the two. The disparity is glaringly obvious when you look at the cost per page of each cartridge. The cost per page is the more efficient way to measure how cost-effective an ink cartridge is.
The lower the CPP (cost per page), the better.
How to get the Cost per Page
Calculating the cost per page (CPP) differs for black ink cartridges and color cartridges.
For black cartridges, simply take the price of the cartridge and divide by the expected page yield.
For color cartridges, you divide the price per cartridge by the page yield and multiply it by the number of color cartridges used by your printer and add the CPP of the black. You can learn more about this calculation here.
Since aftermarket cartridges are typically cheaper in price, the CPP will almost always be lower.
