Why PrinterAdvice.com?
www.printeradvice.com is founded to improve
the transparancy in the inkjet printer market. Most consumers find it very
difficult to choose a printer. This
is caused by the lack of transparancy. Sales persons try to sell the printer
with the best marginal profit. What happens then is the following: you buy
the printer which is adviced to you by the sales person. Three months later
you vist the same computer shop, this time to buy an inkjet cartridge. You
ask which
cartridge is suited for your printer. The sales person gives you the cartridge
and says: That's one hundred dollar, please! What will you do? You will pay
a hundred dollars for a 30 ml ink cartridge, otherwise you can't use your printer
After three months, you will pay a hundred dollar again! And why? Because you
did not know which printer has the lowest costs per page and relied on the
advice
of the sales person.
Our mission
For a normal consumer it's impossible to compare
the costs of all printers. Producers sell printers almost for free and earn
millions with their ink
cartridges. Consumers buy the cheapest printer they can find, but they will
have
to pay a lot of money when they need to buy a new cartridge. The total costs
of
a $40 printer over 5 years can be higher then the total costs of a $199 dollar
printer!
Therefore we have developed a printer cost calculator for consumers. You
fill in
how much pages you print per year and in how many years you would like to
depreciate your printer. You press the button, the calculator starts and
you can
see the total costs per year for the 22 most common inkjet printers. The
differences can be enormous. It can save you hundreds of dollars a year!!!
Disclaimer
It has been very difficult to find the data needed for the calculator.
At least 90 % of the data was published by the producers. Capacity is based
on
5 percent coverage. Despite of the fact we have tried to calculate the costs
as
accurate as possible, we cannot guarantee the results of the calculator.
Www.printeradvice.com takes NO responsibility for the results and the calculator
should be used as an indicative tool. If you don't agree with the results of
the
calculator or the content of this site, you can mail to info@printeradvice.com.
