First of all, I'd like to know of ONE machine on the market that charges $700 for cartridges that print ONLY 2800 pages. I would also like to know of ONE inkjet cartridge that CAN print 2800 pages. If you are only getting 2800 pages out of a "$700 cartridge" it is either BECAUSE you are refilling them, or you dont have the first clue what "5% coverage" is! Besides, the chemical components of toner are designed specifically for the model they are intended for. Refilling with generic toner not only will cause quality issues (since the machine is calibrated and designed for SPECIFIC chemical compositions, and you are providing a supply of a different composition) it will eventually outright destroy the machine! So, go ahead and save yourself a couple hundred bucks on regular supplies, while destroying your $15000 piece of equipment.
Secondly, you really need to learn some math. INKJET printers, even the cheap Kodak printers, still run at MINIMUM 10cents per page black, 24cents per page color. LASER products range from 1cent - 4 cents per page black, and 6cents-10cents per page color.
Thirdly, if your machine DOES for some reason only get 2800 pages from a "$700" cartridge, and you say you are saving "$3000 per month" by refilling, then you OBVIOUSLY did not do your homework on the equipment you were buying, or you would have realized that with THAT type of volume, that machine is WAY to small for your needs. These things have monthly volume limits (and although they are only guidelines, not set-in-stone amounts, drastic overages WILL destroy the machine). Saving $3000 per month by spending $20 rather than $700, you are effectively saving $680 each time. $3000/$680=4.5 sets of cartridges per month. 4.5 sets x 2800 pages per set=12352 prints per month. If a full set of cartridges costs $700, then you can't have anything much bigger than a desktop machine, which are only rated for 3000-5000 pages per month.
If, as a business owner, you can't see this, then you deserve to be losing money.
Also, what kind of business has their fax machine connected to a main voice line?
