Printer cost analysis

meester

I have evaluated the cost of printing using all the HP printers and all-in-one devices available for less than £500. The costs are for printing A4, in colour, based on HP's stated print cycle, cartridge prices using good online prices, and on HP's stated photo cycle if applicable.

All assumming A4 @ 1p (the cost of HP-branded inkjet paper)
Photo paper @ 7p (HP advanced photo paper, £7/100 sheets, play.com)
Printer prices are RRP

Colour Lasers

HP Laserjet 1600n £128
HP Laserjet 2600n £163
HP Laserjet 2605 £257
Q6000a toner £40/2500 pages
Q6001a toner £45/2000 pages
Q6002a toner £45/2000 pages
Q6003a toner £45/2000 pages
Cost per page = 9.4p/page (note: slightly cheaper to buy the 2600n and throw the printer away; the 1600n only includes half-size toners, so it's a worse buy)

Note: The 1600/2600 colour laserjets are appalling. More expensive than all but the worst inkjet for printing, and cheaper to buy the printer and throw it away than to buy a full set of ink. The only thing they have going for them is for printing colour flyers, etc., because laser text is always sharper than inkjet. But don't buy them for photos, because you can't print proper photos on a laser printer.

The black and white laserjets, on the other hand, work out cheap, mainly because they only have to print in black. The inkjets would get better numbers if printing in black.

No guarantees of getting cheap printing from an 'office printer'; the 4300 Officejet all-in-one costs 10p/page, which is horrendous.

For printing photos, you would be crazy to buy any other HP printer (except possibly the £500 pigment printer, if that's what you want) than those that take the six-ink 363 series. The 363 value pack, with 150 sheets of paper (worth £10.50), at £20 with six ink cartridges is a fabulous bargain. And the cheapest 363 printer and all-in-one starts at £59, just £10 more than the cheapest deskjet. This works out 13p/photo cheaper than HP's dedicated photo printers. And because they have six inks, the quality will be better than the other products.

As a desk printer for printing A4 pages in colour and black and white (without photos), the HP Officejet Pro k5400, k7400, etc, are best value.

For home users then, IMO, only these products are relevant; giving today's best online price:
HP Photosmart D7160 £59
HP Photosmart D7260 (currently unavailable)
HP Photosmart D7360 £79
HP Photosmart D7460 £133
HP Photosmart All-In-One C5180 £70
HP Photosmart All-In-One C6280 £180
HP Photosmart All-In-One C7280 £200
HP Photosmart All-In-One C8180 £300

Product differences:
C5180 6.1cm screen, photo tray, 2400x4800 scan, ethernet, card reader, photo fix button
C6280 as above, plus duplexer, 4800x4800 scan, red-eye removal button
C7280 as above, plus 50-sheet auto-document feeder, fax, wireless, bluetooth
C8180 as 6280, plus 8.9cm touchscreen, 9600x9600 scan, cd/dvd burner/printer, wireless, bluetooth, but duplex not included
D7160 photo tray, 6.1cm screen, card reader, photo fix button
D7360 as d7160 plus 8.6cm touchscreen
D7460 as d7360 plus 8.9cm touchscreen, wireless, bluetooth, red-eye removal button, panorama printing


IMO, the D7360, which has essentially been replaced by the D7460, is a very attractive product for the price. For all-in-ones, the C5180 is a very nice networked all-in-one for the price.



At 12p/photo, all of these products blow high-street printing costs away, though they can't compete with online bulk prices (don't forget the postage costs though), and are very convenient, not to mention affordable at the price.

BorisTheSpider_3

just checked the Which? review, the Laserjet 1600 is a best buy, what a joke that is, "we were able to print 2500 pages from a single cartridge", yes, that's because they cost £45/each, and there are FOUR of them.

And here's Canon:

Canon photo paper is a rip-off. Best buy appears to be the PP-101, 270g paper for £2.50 for 20, or 12.5p/print. Third-party paper costs as little as 2p, but photo printing is highly dependent on the media, and printers can detect official media and give better performance. Ink costs are actually quite good for most models, but because of the lack of value packs, and cost of expensive paper, they work out a lot more expensive than the cheapest HP prices.

The most expensive photos come from the higher-end six-ink system printers, followed by the entry level ones. You can get free prints on canon's website to sample their print quality. The cheapest printer uses about 7p of ink (for a 6x4 print), plus the photo paper cost, which is given by the printers using the 4-ink CLI-8 ink system. At 20p/print total cost though, this is blown away by the much cheaper 12p/print from the HP 363 ink series (the value pack which at £20 comes with 6 cartridges and 150 sheets of photo paper).

The dedicated photo printers are not too bad, at about 16p/print, cheaper than the A4 printers, but less versatile.

On printing, the colour lasers are better than HP for costs, but still not cheap. The inkjets are cheaper though, with again the CLI-8 system working out cheapest, at under 5p/page in ink (plus cost of paper). This is cheaper than the best HP printer, making these printers a very good buy for general home use - perfect for general use, and fine for photos as well, although if you plan to print a lot of photos (say 200 a year), these will cost about £20/year more.

Wow - you are serious about printer cost analysis!
Ever considered drinking Banks'?

A few years ago i got fed up with home inkjet printers. The cartridges ran out each week, they cost a fortune to replace or messy to refill, fix paper jams and get it fixed when they went wrong etc. I then discovered the 2nd hand HP laserjet 1100 trouble free printer and never looked back.

Here's my money savers cost analysis for people who do lots of black and white A4 printing.

Good quality paper from car boot- £1/500 sheets. 25000 sheets cost £50.
2nd hand HP laserjet 1100 printer 2 years ago £4.99 off ebay and never gone wrong. I'm that impressed that i've Just bought a back-up at £6.51 item number 160181841801 off ebay.

Toner has yield of 2500 for a standard full sheet but sheets are rarely full of text and on average the paper is only 70% utilsed. Also use on draft and you can double that but lets assume draft only 50% of the time so you need 5 toners at £4.99 = £24.95. Here's a toner on ebay at £4.99 280174381280.

Total = £50 + £6.51 + £24.95 = £81.46 for 25,000 sheets.

Price per sheet = 0.325 pence.

They advertise their all-in-1's as a breakthrough in lower printing costs. In actual fact, the A4 printing is no cheaper than the cheapest of its rivals, principally because the cartridges are not available discounted from RRP. The photo printing OTOH is very cheap, at just 10.6p/photo.

Kodak 5300 All-In-One £140
Kodak 5500 All-In-One £200
Color cartridge £10, or £13.50 w/135 sheets 220g photo paper/378 A4 or 167 photos
Black cartridge £7/342 A4 or 1695 photos
Cost per page = 5.7p
Cost per photo = 10.6p (note that Kodak's paper is very expensive to buy separately, so it's much cheaper to just buy the value pack).

Here's the Kodak dedicated photo printer costs:

EASYSHARE G600 Printer Dock £129 (£49 w/camera)
EASYSHARE G610 Printer Dock £129
Kodak G200 Paper Pack, 200 photos £36

EASYSHARE Photo Printer 500

Good quality paper from car boot- £1/500 sheets. 25000 sheets cost £50.
2nd hand HP laserjet 1100 printer 2 years ago £4.99 off ebay and never gone wrong. I'm that impressed that i've Just bought a back-up at £6.51 item number 160181841801 off ebay.

Toner has yield of 2500 for a standard full sheet but sheets are rarely full of text and on average the paper is only 70% utilsed. Also use on draft and you can double that but lets assume draft only 50% of the time so you need 5 toners at £4.99 = £24.95. Here's a toner on ebay at £4.99 280174381280.

Total = £50 + £6.51 + £24.95 = £81.46 for 25,000 sheets.

Price per sheet = 0.325 pence.

My costs are all for original supplies and manufacturer's papers, which I have costed at £5/500 sheets. You could cut 0.8p/sheet off the A4 prices above, if you buy generic A4 (which tbh is fine for general printing; I wouldn't do this for photo paper though).

The £5 toner is a good price, but it's very hard to evaluate printers except using original supplies, because some printers will not be happy using non-original supplies, and also there is no way of checking the quality without testing each third-party item in turn, which is inpractical. The only safe way is with original products.

Of course, b&w printing will always be cheaper anyway.

Before buying a printer I always check out which ones have continuous ink systems available for them. Epson are usually ok. I've saved a fortune bulk buying ink and not messing with cartidges or fiil-ups at all.
If you haven't looked into this take a look at ebay or start with a reliable supplier (no connection):

It's not worth printing your own photos, I just use Bonus Print with their Pix program to upload for Bonus Print to print them off professionally.
