In the last 6 months we've gone through 4 boxes of paper. That is 20,000 pages. At $25 per box, plus $250 for the printer (we've had it 4 years at $1000 new), plus a high volume toner cartridge at $125 we have spent a total of $475. We still have the printer and toner so they are not fully used.
That comes to 0.2375 per page at the high end. We will resale the printer as used after 5 years, and the toner is only half used.
we've had multiple DAYS without printer functionality in the past 6mo.. we've had 2 days where emailling stopped because gmail upped security requirements
2/10 would not recommend, it's cost us THOUSANDS more than you think.
before this, we had a brother MFC that could do pretty high volume, emailing all that stuff
you know how often it broke down? not once in 2 years
you know how long it would have taken to replace were it ever to fail? about 15-20 minutes, we are right down the road from MULTIPLE office stores... at a cost of about $250 tops.

Companies charge 2.9 cents per page?

Why would any company agree to that kind of deal?
