There are a lot of factors in print cost coverage----
-Paper also needs to be considered as a cost as well.
-Factor in the average percentage of toner and saturation printed on the paper.
-To calculate cost per black and white page, you take the price of the black cartridge and divide it by the black cartridge’s page yield.
-
To print a color page, the printer typically uses all its cartridges, including the black one. So to calculate cost per page for each of the color cartridges, add them all together, then combine that number with the black and white cost per page to get the final cost per color page.
If your black ink cartridge costs $30 and yields 500 printed pages, its cost per page is $0.06.
If each of the three color cartridges costs $40 and yields 400 pages, their cost per page is $0.10 each (120/1200).

Canon test markets all of there printers at
5/6% black text coverage on LTR size
example 6% [/QUOTE=teckat;566237]
that is clear all manufacturers use 5-6% coverage to estimate prints
The Cost of Developer and Drum units also Counts
so my question is since Canon Does 6,000,000 copies on single Drum and Dev. (you only need to add toner)
so in the Long run is Canon not a better choice/ more cost effective?
