Ink cost (if purchased at $8.80/cart) is about $1.10 per 8.5x11 page (glossy) - borderless.

Paper cost will vary.

Yes USD.

Also, what paper are you getting for $25 a box of 125? I would print on quality paper for longevity. Ilford Gallerie Smooth Gloss or Smooth Pearl is about the cheapest quality paper I have seen at about $24/100 sheets. Epson Premium Gloss/Luster a bit more and Canon Photo Paper Pro - well, rediculous

Don't forget, paper quality has a lot to do with longevity.

You're saying you can only get 8 pages per cartridge on that printer? Doesn't that seem really low?

Thanks,

Herb

No. On some carts (black) you will get 60+, on others (magenta, cyan) maybe 40, others (photo cyan, photo magenta) you may get less than 25. Yellow maybe 30.

You get the idea. $1.10 is on the high end and $.95 would be on the very low end.
