Color Toner and Your Cash

Denver Color Toner and Your Cash

Color toner costs can be painful to your already tight budget.   One way to cut down on your costs is buy looking at how much color you’re putting on your pages.   Like I’ve mentioned before, coverage is something many people fail to fully understand.   The industry standard is 20%.   That may sound like quite a bit, when actually, it’s just a fraction of the color most “color” prints have.

The 20% is not 20% Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.   It is a combined total of all four (5% of each color).   This means the 12,000 prints on your HP Magenta toner cartridge is really 12,000 pages at 5% Magenta coverage.   Customers often wonder why a large color cartridge ran out after 5,000 pages…the answer lies with their actual coverage.

If your color printer is squeezing your budget due to high toner costs, you may be better off recycling it and buying a more efficient printer.   Another option is to switch to high-quality compatible color toner.   If you need perfect color impressions for your prints, OEM toner is probably better for your needs.   Compatible toner can be very close in quality, so if you’re a church, non-profit, or small business, cost is probably your main concern.   You can generally save at least 30% just by switching to high quality, warrantied compatible toner.   We sell OEM, remanufactured, and compatible toner for HP, Lexmark, Xerox, andRicoh.   We’ll give you a compeditive quote on all regular and high-yield toner for your printing needs here in Denver.
