Cost per page: printer toner and ink

What it actually costs to print one page, computed from today’s prices. 4,484 cartridges — and the gap between the cheapest and the dearest is 730×.

How this is worked out. Cost per page is the cartridge price divided by the page yield the seller states, divided again by the number of cartridges if it is a multipack. Nothing is estimated: a cartridge only appears here if its seller published a page count, which is about 15% of the toner and ink we track. The rest say “High Yield” without ever giving a number, and guessing one would produce a confident wrong figure. Waste toner boxes, drums and fusers are excluded — they wear out on a page count but they do not print.

Prices are the last we saw from the retailer and change without warning. Page yields are the manufacturer’s own claim, measured to ISO standards at 5% page coverage — real-world yield is usually lower, and the same for every cartridge, so the comparison holds even where the absolute figure does not.
