How to select cost-effective printer cartridge?

Speaking of the cost performance ratio of printer cartridges, it is necessary to talk about a professional term "single page output cost", that is, the cost of consumables per page printed (generally referred to as A4 sheets), it can reflect the cost performance of printer cartridges.

How to select cost-effective printer cartridges?
Then, what supplies does the printer have? The main consumables for laser printers are selenium drums and toner cartridge. Low-end laser printers ($100 - $500) typically use a toner-and-drum model, such as HP Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw's selenium toner cartridge is CF400X, which page yield up to 2,800 page 5%(A4) coverage and only $0.01 per page. Optical printers will be drum and toner separation, its output cost will be lower, basically the output cost is inversely proportional to the price of equipment. Inkjet printers consume mainly ink cartridges. In fact, ink, and many other low-end inkjet printers are easy to damage the nozzle, it is worth noting. Inkjet printers are inexpensive, but consumables are much higher than laser printers, almost double or more, so they are not recommended unless the printing capacity is very small. In short, from the cost-effective point of view of consumables, $200 - $300 or so toner and drum separation laser printers are preferred, of course, if you have a certain amount of printing, such as more than 1000 pages per month.

The key to cost saving
Of course, there is an effective way to save expenditure on consumables, that is, using compatible ink and toner cartridges, which can save 50% or more, but this method must have a certain understanding of the compatible consumables market. For example, Ld Products, V4ink, E-Z Ink, and 4Inkjet are all well-known brands of compatible consumables market. Choosing compatible consumables can help you control costs more effectively.
