[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 1215352, member: 70"] I've got a hp 6110 all-in-one, and I sprang for the two-sided printing module. Both my wife and I prefer to read printed material over on-screen, so we do lots of little 1-2 page print jobs, which we pretty much automatically print double-sided and on the "economy" ink setting. I've been buying Hammermill Premium Inkjet paper, which is 24 lbs and 106+ brightness. Paper runs about $6/ream (500 sheets) at Staples. A 2-pack of black cartridges runs $36 at Staples. It's almost never worth the bother for me to print color. Probably 90% of the color in pdfs are in the (too-heavy) borders. I'm pretty certain I can print 500 pages on one cartridge on the economy ink setting, but for argument's sake, we'll put it at half that (250 pgs/cartridge). Printing one-sided, that's $42 for 500 pages + 500 sheets. Printing double-sided, it's $39 for 500 pages + 250 sheets, or .078 cents per page (and you've still got 250 sheets for pictures of Lucy Liu or Antonio Banderas...your choice). 500 pages is the PH and 1/2 the MM (up to "manticore"), and not including covers. Cheers Nell. [/QUOTE]
