Previously, the authors performed theoretical printing costing calculations for the hot inkjet printer and the mainstream laser printer, which were calculated on the basis of 10,000 pages of printed paper, respectively, for the cost of purchasing additional materials. A total of 22 products, 9 inkjet printers and 13 laser printers, all of which meet the standards, were sold at a price of less than $2,000 and could be an alternative to the home scenario。

The average ink-jet printer can print only hundreds of pages at random, so in order to complete the 10,000 page print volume, the user needs to purchase more than a dozen at a later stage, which is more expensive if it is costly。
This brings with it a critical knowledge point: to buy printers, never just focus on the price of the product, but also on the cost of printing。
Printers are expendable equipment, not like our own mobile phones, laptops, for life at once. Printers are like fuel cars, which require frequent additions of gasoline to keep them running, so attention is being paid to the 100 km consumption of fuel cars. Printers are in fact the same way, and it is for this purpose that the theoretical cost of printing 10,000 pages is calculated, so that you can actually find the right printer。
In addition, printing is only the basic function of a printer, with progression to scanning, photocopying, network printing, etc. The higher end also supports automatic double-sided printing, as well as adf with support for batch scanning/copying, and natural sales prices will vary considerably due to the addition of additional functions。

Inkjet printer comparison review
The figure below shows the theoretical cost of printing 10,000 pages for 9 heat-seller inkjet printers, which are calculated separately for black and colour, since colour printing is generally supported。
You can look at the four-column red, showing the cost of printing 10,000 pages in black and colour. On the black side, the printing of 10,000 pages by eppson l4266, with only an additional amount of $26. 33, was the most efficient of the nine products, although the total cost was not the highest since its products were sold at $1499. Canon g3800 can achieve 10,000 pages of black printing with an extra $37. 33 for the purchase of materials and a sales price of $749。
If you look closely, you will find that the value of the additional materials purchased for the three products: eppson l3251, hewlett-packard 518 and hewlett-packard 678 is also very low, with only a few dozen dollars。
This is due to the fact that the five products are inkjet printers, which are significantly lower than the printing costs of inkjet printers, and the remaining four printers are inkjet printers, which can be seen as having a higher value for the additional materials purchased, the most expensive of which amounts to $5,000. They are the cheapest four out of nine, i. E., as mentioned above, the cost of printing must be seen in the purchase of printers, especially in households with large printing needs。

Review of comparative information for laser printers
In the traditional perception that laser printers are mostly used for commercial office scenarios, however, as domestic demand surges and the price of single-function laser printers is downgraded, and as some consumers are well budgeted, laser products are also favoured by many household users。
In addition, laser printers generally lead inkjet printers and are more fully functional, such as the automatic double-sided printing function referred to above, as well as batch scanning and photocopying that can be achieved by the adf automated feed-paper unit, which can further increase efficiency。
It has been calculated that of the many laser printer products, mik200 is the most economical of the above-mentioned products, with only an additional $360. 75 worth of materials purchased。
But not really。
With regard to laser printer selections, it is intended to refer to the selection of ink-jet printers and to select up to $2,000, with the top 20 products being sold in the city of kyoto, but it is not surprising that 7 of the top 10 products are hewlett-packard printers, so as to avoid misadvertising them, it is changed to the top two hot brands。
Like the 4th hewlett-packard 2606dw, the 5th hewlett-packard 2606sdw, the 8th hewlett-packard 1005w are all hewlett-packard-series laser powder printers, with a randomly standard of 5,000 pages of carbon powder and 50,000 pages of selenium drums, so if you want to print 10,000 pages, these 3 products will have to buy only one piece of carbon powder, or 159 pp of hewlett-packard 158x, which is the most economical of all products, with almost half of the smaller rice k200 printers。
A further point of knowledge: laser printers have two consumption materials for carbon + selenium drums, carbon powder, and selenium drums, some of which are designed together, some of which are separate designs that can be replaced separately, all of which affect later costs and, overall, the printing costs for drum-separated products are lower。
However, this is not applicable on the strength m2000dm. It is designed in the form of a drum-consolidated package of $389 that achieves 4,500 pages of print, which is the result of the identification of the kyodong-kyotung-king and powerful service。
For other products, there are several additional laser printers that are costly to purchase, and there is no traditional perception of the cheapness of laser printing。

Let's see it together
The two tables are grouped together and are sorted in two categories, i. E., by the cost of the material and by the sum of the cost of the fuel + purchaser, with additional functional and parameter information added。
Order by consumption cost of materials
Sort by combined cost
The second table is the combined cost of materials + machines. Since less than 2,000 laser printers do not have a lottery function, we simply hide the colour portion, leaving only 10,000 pages of black costing。
An additional point of knowledge is shared: printer prints are generally calculated on the basis of 5 per cent coverage of the relevant standard for printing a4 paper, which is a more common standard and may vary significantly in the actual printing of printers。
To give a simple example, we print separate documents and photographs with ink-jet printers, which can print 100-200 a4 specifications, but if we print 6-inch photographs (common photo size), it may only print more than 10 copies, and it will run out of ink. A4-size paper is 297 mm x 210 mm, 6 inches of photo paper is 152 mm x 102 mm and, by area, an a4 is more than four times the size of a 6-inch photograph. So if you print an a4-size photo, maybe four or five prints are gone。

Summary:
With the rising demand for printer functions in households, it is no longer only an economic age. The ease of connection, the ease of operation of the control panel, the availability of visual screens, the support for micro-mail printing, automatic double-sided printing, and the interest of users in easy-to-calculated paper are all important factors in the selection of printers by households。
In addition, domestic printers are selected for use, such as:
If printing is extremely low and used only for emergency response, it is recommended to select ink-jet printers
If there are students in the family who occasionally have a need for a lottery, it is recommended to select inkjet printers
If there are two or more students in the family who do not normally print photographs, it is recommended that laser printers be selected, as students need more to print learning materials and lasers are more efficient and stable
If printers are purchased only for photo printing, it is recommended that a special photo printer be selected。

If so, which product is selected
Answer: the hp dj 4825 printer, even in two rows, is not the most economical product。
Reason: first, it is a one-size-fits-all machine capable of meeting the requirements for scanning and photocopying documents; second, it supports lottery, which has some demand; third, it has no students in the family, it uses more for work, it needs less and it does not require printing speed; and, at the same time, it is cost-effective and reasonable. In addition, the need to print photographs is occasionally met。
Finally, one suggestion, also the author's “experience talk”: if printing demand is low, the choice of ink-jet printers is not recommended, although single-page printing of such products is extremely low, with only one-to-five cents/page, but the consumption is too durable to print thousands of pages。
However, if it is easy to get in and out of the pipe for a long time, especially in the dry winter of the north, and whenever it is necessary to use it at any given time, the ink will have to be washed, even twice or three times, and the ink will have to be wasted on cleaning the printing head, while the inhaling of the pipe will not be easy to resolve and will require some hands-on capability。
So it is suggested that you “choice as needed”
*note: all the above is based on parameters and data presented in detail on the kyoto electrician page, which is summarized and presented. As for the sale price of products and consumables, this is determined on the basis of actual circumstances, given the high price volatility of electrical platforms and the adjustment of the manufacturer's promotion strategy, which may be inconsistent with the presentation price. All above costing does not include paper costs。
