The targeted 160 prints are reached. The printer still has the setup cartridges in use. In the meantime 10 out of 12 cartridges with the remark “low ink” are listed in the overview, but still filled with at least 5%.

Time to do an interim conclusion …

The costs and expenditures stated below are, of course, related to my personal print behavior. What mix of pictures was used here can be seen well in the Printshop.

The ink consumption is much lower than originally though when I made my decision for purchase (which was very pessimistic). Except for magenta and photo-cyan all cartridges now have the low marker set.

 

In the following graphic shows the individual colors with their milliliter consumption.

 

All following graphs show only my personal prints and usage (I do also print for others).

The paper cost is a large chunk of the total printing costs. Following is an overview of all formats printed with the average paper price. Some papers are comparatively expensive, because I chose a set of papers from Photolux at A2 +, which was assembled manually.

 

The above also applies to the following printing costs per paper type. The graphic shows the mean value for all formats.

 

Finally, the number of copies I did per paper type.
