The price of printers can be deceptive because some cheaper printers can use a lot more expensive ink than some more expensive printers. But there are a lot of
variables in play--the cost of printing a page with a particular printer, how many pages of black and white (which use the least ink) you print every week, how
many pages of color text you print per week (Which uses more ink), and how many photos you print per week (which uses the most ink). But if you can
estimate your usage you can use the calculator below to determine which printer will be more likely to be most cost-efficient.
