Epson 1400 cost per page

[hultstrom1]

For your information,

 

After the first month of using the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 I did a quick calculation of the cost per page (in

Norway). According to the ink-monitor I have used about 4.15 out of 6 full ink cartridges and printed 33 full A4

pages (maybe one or two more, but not much).

 

The total is calculated for an average cost for paper (Epson premium glossy, semigloss and matte paper heavy

weight), since I haven't kept track of the paper number of prints per paper type. The total also reflects a mix

of black and white and colour printing.

 

At about 6 NOK or USD 1.2 per page paper and 145 NOK per cartridge original Epson ink. That comes to 18 NOK

ink/A4 and 24 NOK (USD 5) total per page A4 paper. Add to this the cost of the printer (2995 NOK) and that I will

use it for somewhere between 1000 and 10000 pages before buying a new one, that is about 0.30 NOK to 3 NOK per page.

 

Keep in mind that your milage may vary, and that Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world.

 

I hope this may be of help to someone, I know I was looking for it before I bought the printer.

 

Yours,
