The ink cost analysis is based on actual ink usage, using the specified type of paper and print mode with the printer driver under conditions stated below. This analysis is based on the printers job log report on the amount of ink consumed to print. The media cost analysis is based on square footage from the size of the paper using roll feed paper. The total cost stated is a sum of the cost of ink and the media including any waste to print one complete print, and does not include the cost of other customer replaceable items such as a print head, a cutter, and a maintenance cartridge. The prints per ink set represents the average number of prints that can be printed with a set of twelve ink cartridges. All cost information has been rounded up, and there are minute discrepancies in the total because of the rounding error. The result of this analysis may not be exact and is not guaranteed, and therefore should only be used as a guide to estimate cost. All prices used in this analysis are based on MSRP in U.S. dollars as of February 2007. This document is created in February 2007, and specifications are subject to change without notice.
