HI !

Is difficult to respond to you ,is depend what kind of printer you used and if you used ink cartridge or bag.The best is to ask to your local distributor ,normally he have all this info .

When you do your price not forgot to included a % of waste .

I noticed the fine print at the bottom says that price is for using "High Speed" setting. I always use the High Quality setting, so I imagine that is going to use more ink.
