Section 2: Evaluating Colour Printers
Evaluating Costs
When evaluating the costs of printing, it's important to fi rst think about your current

you understand the actual per-page costs of your printing activities, you can gain a
deeper understanding of the total costs associated with your printer over its lifetime.
