  • the number of sheets that can be printed in A4 size in the standard manuscript / standard printing mode (ISO / IEC2472 and 2471 compliant) is about 500. Therefore, the cost of printing ink for one sheet is about 10 yen.

Furthermore, there is a configuration in which the number of colors is increased in order to further improve the picture quality. In these cases, the total width of all color tanks is around 7-10 cm.
