How much does it cost per page? I was wondering if anyone can tell me the cost per page? One reviewer said it was about 1200 per cartridge, is this true?

At the Canon website under the 4150 supplies heading, the toner cartridge lists for $70 and is good for 2000 pages. So that is on the order of 3.5 cents/page. Much better than the inkjets I looked at this week that seem to run 5-8 cents/page. Not as good as my old HP 4000 laser printer that runs about 1.6 cents per page.

inkjetsuperstore dot com has OEM toner for this for $34+5 shipping - which comes out to 1.95 cents per page. Couldn't find a higher yield cartridge for this model printer. 2k is pretty low.

Turning on the toner saver can extend the use, but I agree with the other poster that most dedicated Lasers have better cost per page. I've got one of those old HPs 4Ls with a refillable toner cart for those big jobs, at less than a penny a page.

I buy all of my ink from the HP website. It is 10% cheaper than retail (same price as Amazon) and free shipping-plus you occasionally get a free package of photo paper with the order. You can buy all of the color cartirdges as a set or buy each color separately for $9.95. I have printed 250 pages of text and my black cartidge is only down 25%

Are you talking about number of pages that can print with one ink cartridge? If so, up to 1000, depending on what type of ink you use.

The original cartridge gave us about 700-800 copies. This cartridge which replaced it, according to the printer, has printed 1034 pages (I have my doubts about this number though) so far without any issues. Since last two days the toner low message is back and is consistently on but little shaking makes it work. Let see how far it will go. Will keep you posted on the final number.

The first cartridge printed about a ream of paper--not bad, actually about what an inkjet would do. I then reset the print density down on the printer. My counter on the printer now reads 2665. That means that I just ran about 2000 copies--around 4 reams--on the second cartridge. That's WAY better than I ever did on any injet ever. Thanks for the question. I hadn't thought to check that until just now.

That's interesting. I just got the message that the toner is low after printing a mailing, but it was a brand new cartridge and we only printed - at most - 1/2 of what the supposed capacity is. Just a letter, so not excessive page coverage either. I guess the answer is I don't know, but have had some similar experience (though not that soon). Typically this hasn't been a huge issue.

Yeah, I clicked on this through their special deals to see that they have a $10 ink cartridge on sale for $20. Sure that sounds like a ripoff until you see they usually sell the $10 cartridge for $100.Nice of you to report it. We'll see how long until they fix it.

HP, the manufacturer, tells the buyer on the package info approximately how many pages each ink cartridge should last. I own 2 printers that use this cartridge and I purchased the 2nd printer specifically because it is the newer model of the 1st printer and it uses the same cartridges. I have been super impressed with the life of these cartridges. My Lexmark I purchased a few years back only printer 500 black copies for the same ink cost with HP's 950XL that prints 2500 black pages. I use the XL version of the cartridge and it is supposed to get 2500 pages on the XL cartridge (and that sounds about right on actual use). So the regular cartridge (which is what comes with the printer) getting about 1800 pages does sound correct. I do recommend purchasing the 950XL cartridge if you do a lot of printing. It runs roughly $35 on Amazon.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

I think it would depend if you are talking about a regular typed page or something requiring an excessive amount of ink. Also, are you sure your cartridge is not expired and actually drying up? Several variables? Is it exceptionally hot where your printer is located?? You might google HP 61 and see if it tells you how many "normal" pages of typing you should get? Hope this may help??

I don't know. I haven't refilled my starter cartridge yet. I used one of the reviewers techniques and it keeps printing. I'm pretty sure it was a reviewer, if not just google it.

I did not track, but it would be fair to say a couple hundred. It is not a high capacity cartridge that comes with it. I found a refurbished ink place on Amazon called MPC Direct who is extremely reasonable and seems to work great! The black ran out and I'm still using the 3 color cartridges that csme with the printer at time of purchase. I love the printer! It works great and does everything it claims.

Depends on how much print is on a page, but I have been impressed with these cartridges and the fast shipment. I would use them again. I estimate 900-1500 pages per cartridges.

I don't know how many pages it will print, but I do know that it is substantially more than the regular HP60 cartridge. It is worth the price. The cost per printed page is much lower with the XL. I only buy the HP60XL in black and the regular HP60 color cartridge since I normally print in black. If you print a lot in color, the HP60XL color cartridge should be your choice.

not sure yet--with the brand new cartridge in the new printer, I have printed over 150 pages and have received ""prepare to replace toner message"" for the last 10 or so printings; the b.s. in the pro-mo literature states cartridge is good for 700 pages; pressing code menu--1--8 allows continued printing, but anticipate shutdown around 200; of course nothing in the promotional information indicates any reference to word density--words per page.....Raines BCNU

I bought another brand, and have to figure out how to sell them, because they are too long. We buy 100 cartridges at a time, and the cost is about 35 cents per cartridge. We buy the soda stream flavors, and it is more convenient than buying bottles or cans of soda, plus Soda Stream has flavors sweetened with sugar.

I already answered this for someone else. All depends on what you print and what size. Different people will give you different answers.I can't tell you you'll get 30 prints per cartridge. You have to decide if paying for prints is cheaper than doing it yourself. If you sell printsthen you'll get your money back. Bottom line, I have no regrets.
