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.
