How is print cost per page calculated?

Cost per page = (ink cartridge cost ÷ pages per cartridge) + (paper ream cost ÷ 500) + electricity cost per page. Color printing costs approximately 3.5x more than B&W.

What is the difference between B&W and color printing cost?

Color printing typically costs 3 to 5 times more than black-and-white because it uses multiple ink cartridges simultaneously.

Does double-sided printing save money?

Yes, double-sided printing uses approximately 45% less paper than single-sided, significantly reducing total cost.
