![]() ![]() I'm guessing you're talking about the Brother Business AIO Printer or something similar to that vs a Floor Standing one with multiple trays. These of course are a lot more expensive monthly cost. These runs around 70ppm going from regular stock to heavier stock at the same speed. I work in a print shop where we have digital presses. and The answer is always 42 btw.Īctually I'm not too familiar with regular laser printer or Multifunction Printers. Tldr: Lack of need, hard to determine accurately due to variables, and can get even more complicated with different printers, Digitally or Offset. And if it did count that light gray as a 5% page coverage, then you can over-estimate how much toner you may need. Will a 5% coverage of a 10% K solid be counted as the same as a 5% coverage of a 100% K Solid? Technically, that light gray is a 5% coverage, but it will use less toner than if there are a 5% of a fully black solid. Everything isn't so uniform and perfect and printer determines what is good enough for what it think a color looks like.Īlso another thing to note is that there are tints of color as well. One 5% coverage page can differ slightly vs another 5% coverage by a small amount, but over thousands of pages it matters.įor B&W printing, it can get even more complicated once you hit grayscale and how a printer deal with it. All depends on whether the ion charge will take enough toner particle to fill in that data. While a pixel is a pixel and that takes that specific space on a computer, printing (digital/laser) on the other hand can maybe take 1-100 toner particle to fill that specific space in an extreme example. Percentage of certain inks in a page also is of no concern as well since color separation will furthermore change once it pass through a RIP. You may be able to hit that 1,250 pages per cart on one set, but may not on the next. The ink coverage of ink supplies is very loose on that 5% coverage over a Letter Size document or even an A4. So the cost of toner isn't much of a concern, and more cost effective if a printer don't have to buy their own toner supply. Most Digital Printers are charged based on click charge, and their dealers handles the supplies and services. Printer will often time offset some cost based on whether the artwork have large solid or not. Industry standard does not concern how much it will cost for you to print X percentage in a page, but rather if a certain spot will cause problem in a printing workflow. It's more important if one spot don't have too much ink or it may cause problem for the print. For maybe some art and design it may be important if their design only fill in a certain % area of a page, but Printers don't really have a concern how much % there are. ![]() Mainly has to do with lack of need of such info in actual print environment for most. Sorry wall of text! But I can explain some of the reason why there are lack of such application. ![]()
