Is a cheap printer really cheap?

Do you print more than 150 color pages per month?

It may surprise you at how much cheaper it is to buy and use a more expensive laser printer. 

We compared two Hewlett Packard color laser printers:

Printer	Purchase price	Cost per page
HP M451	$349	$0.15
HP CP4025	$999	$0.07

The chart below shows the break even point between these two printers is around 7,000 printed pages.  After printing 7,000 pages on the HP CP4025, you should still be on the original set of toners.  As usage goes up, so do the savings.

Use the breakeven point to help choose the right printer.

How long do you plan to own your printer? 
Let's say you're about average and will get four years out of your next printer.  Do you think you will print more than 7,000 pages in four years, or about 150 pages per month on average?  Of so, then the more expensive printer in our example would cost less to own and operate over that period.

"Dennis Wilkes here of Orange Grove Center in Chattanooga, TN. I have been more than satisfied with your company and service. My orders have always been handled quickly and graciously. When there was a problem that too was handled in the same manner. When bargain opportunities are present I receive an email that I might take advantage of such opportunities.    I especially appreciate the Christian emphasis!!!"

Think Gas is Expensive?

At roughly $3.55 for regular unleaded gas here in Knox County, we are constantly reminded about how expensive gasoline is. Here's how the price of gas stacked up against some other "liquids."

It's a good thing our cars don't run on Lipton Ice Tea at about $9.00 a gallon. Got heartburn? For $123.00 per gallon, Pepto-Bismol may not be quite the relief that you're looking for.  How about a gallon of NyQuil ($178.00) or brake fluid ($34.00)? 

Figure out where we're going with this yet?  How much could name-brand printer ink cost?  Try $4,294.00 per gallon for a popular type of HP ink! With prices like that, it's no wonder Southeastern Laser is able to provide such amazing savings!
