HP LaserJet M110w Ink Cost Per Page: Near the Back of the Mono Laser Pack
The HP LaserJet M110w is a small mono laser printer that only prints, with Wi-Fi but no auto-duplex, selling for $169. Running it costs $6.53 per 100 pages in black, a rate set by its HP-141A cartridge — $62 for 950 pages.
That cost per page ties the M110w for 22nd of 23 mono laser printers InkTax tracks, and puts it 76th of 97 across every printer type InkTax tracks on the same measure. The tied model is the HP LaserJet MFP M140w, which adds copy and scan and sells for $190 at the same $6.53 per 100 pages black rate.
Step further up HP's mono lineup and running costs drop: the LaserJet Pro 3001dw adds auto-duplex and Ethernet, prints at 35 pages per minute against the M110w's 21, and costs $5.00 per 100 pages for $250. The LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw goes further still — copy, scan and fax, a touchscreen, the same $5.00 per 100 pages — for $380.
Outside HP, the Brother HL-L2400D and HL-L2405W both sell for $120 and run at $4.33 per 100 pages, undercutting the M110w on both price and running cost. The L2400D trades Wi-Fi for auto-duplex; the L2405W keeps Wi-Fi but, like the M110w, has no auto-duplex.
The running-cost floor among mono laser printers InkTax tracks belongs to the HP LaserJet Pro 4006dw, at $2.23 per 100 pages. It adds auto-duplex, Ethernet and a touchscreen, prints at 47 pages per minute versus the M110w's 21, and costs $400 up front.
