Ink Usage Menu
This tool is provided for the purpose of
estimating the amount of ink usage and
approximate costs for a particular print
job.
“Printed Ink” values are displayed in
microliters (µl). 1000 µl = 1 mL
Job Cost Settings – To obtain “estimated
costs”; please enter your Tank Cost (cost
of single tank) and Printhead Cost. You
can also select if the Media Size is
displayed in inches or millimeters.
NOTICE: Estimated Page Costs and Estimated Job Costs are for provided for “estimation” purposes only.
This is NOT a performance guarantee. Please send at least 100 pages to increase estimation accuracy.
Then Click “Submit” to display the “Estimated Page Cost” and “Estimated Job Cost”.
The system uses the following items to estimate page and job costs.
• Print job info (Pages Printed, Print Quality, Media Type, Media Size).
• Number of nozzle ejections (Printed Ink) and the printhead area being used.
Note: An image printed within a smaller printhead area (example: 1” horizontal x 2” vertical
block) will use the same nozzles more frequently; as compared to printing the same image
with a wider printhead area (2” horizontal x 1” vertical block). The more frequent a particular
nozzle is fired, the quicker it will begin to fail.
Memjet’s estimated printhead rating: ~125,000* linear inches of continuous printing.
*This is NOT an expression of Warranty. Individual results will vary.
• User provided information about printhead and ink costs.
Note: Enter the cost of a single Ink Tank only.
NOTICE: This is only an estimate. No guarantee of accuracy is expressed or implied. These estimates
do NOT include other factors such as Printer maintenance routines, (printhead wiping and cleaning, power
up/down, etc.) that may affect the overall result.
