> In the laser printing world, vendors base their yields and costs per copy on 5% coverage. Keep in mind that average coverage has increased in the last 7 years because of the web (more graphics), and more image intensive applications (PowerPoint, emailed photos, clip art, ect).
> 
> The cost per page on most copiers, including machine depreciation is between 1 - 1.5 cents. If the machine is older than 3-4 years it may be closer to 0.8 cents (the machine is already depreciated).
> 
> If the copier is digital (scans once, prints many) it will maintain about 75% of the quality of the original print (assuming a decent quality inkjet paper was used; otherwise the inkjet won’t look too great anyway).

And in contrast to the gold chain wearing studmuffin, there is the occasional Poindexter with a pocket protector taped to his bare chest who gets excited by talking about laser printers while everyone is gettin Roman.
