How the ranking works
Every cost in the table is the same arithmetic: cartridge or bottle price divided by its ISO yield — the page count manufacturers publish from a standardized test document. Where a printer needs a separate drum unit, that wear is folded into the black-and-white figure. The slider redoes the totals for how much you print. Sourcing details are on the about page.
Across the catalog, ink tank printers have the lowest ink cost per page by a wide margin, laser printers sit in the middle, and cartridge inkjets cost the most per page — see the cheapest laser printers, inkjet printers, and ink tank printers to run.
