Inkjet costs are generally higher than laser. An inkjet will cost about $.43 per page where laser costs are about $.08 per page. If you can convince people
to give up their printers the real savings are in using copier machines. The cost runs about $.005 per page for b/w and $.08 per page color. They also have a much higher yield at about 40K copies per toner refill.

Subject: Supplies - Ink vs Laser?
Hi - I'm looking at my supplies budget for next year. Yikes. It's large, and it's largely toner for laser printers. (Paper is in another budget.) Ok, we need to reduce printing. But I also want to reduce the price per page. We're using
3rd party toner for all but one of our printers. I could go to self-refill to trim that cost. Anyone doing that?
Or I could try inkjet. HP has inkjets with "page-wide" heads that they say are fast, as good as laser, and less expensive per page. Anyone using those?
How are you reducing your supplies costs?
thanks,
steve
