When looking for cheap toner cartridge the most important factor to consider is the price per page

When looking for cheap toner cartridge the price of the laser printer or laser printer toner cartridge should be among the least important aspects when looking at your total costs. What you really need to look at is the price per page. In fact, buying cheap doesn't guarantee you're saving money over the long term. 

How to calculate your toner cost

To calculate your laser toner cost take the price of the cartridge and divide it by the page yield or how many pages the cartridge is expected to deliver. You can usually find this information from the manufacturer of the printer. All things being equal the higher the yield the lower your cost per page. Buying cheap toner can be self defeating if page yield is low which translates to a higher cost per page. The cost per page holds true whether your printing needs demand hundreds of pages a day or just a few pages a day. The more pages you print the more you can save if your page yield is very high since it results in a low cost per page.

So clearly, a more expensive laser printer can, in the long run, be much cheaper overall simply by delivering a lower cost per page than a less expensive model that has a higher cost per page. The old adage that "you get what you pay for" holds true when dealing with cheap cartridges and printers.

Rather than looking for a cheap cartridge why not consider a good laser printer with high yield output. Compare the cost per page of various makes and models and chose the one that gives you the greatest savings over the long run based on your specific printing needs.  

Remember, you should always try to minimize your cost per page in order to maximize your savings.
