- Cost per page

'Cost per page' provides a unit cost per print, giving you a like-for-like value to help you compare prices across brands.
For your convenience, cost per page information can be found on Officeworks' shelf edge prices. Cost per page information should be used as a guide only.
'Page yield' refers to the number of pages (based on an average 'test page') a cartridge can print before it runs out.
The cost per page for an individual toner cartridge is calculated using the page yield of that cartridge. The value pack's cost per page is calculated using the average yield of the cartridges in the pack.
Keep in mind that page yield is just one component of cost and factors such as quality, reliability, productivity and efficiency affect cost as well. For example, printing a document in draft mode is a more efficient use of ink/toner, and will reduce the cost per page. Also, the higher priced printers usually have more efficient designs that use less ink when printing and cleaning the print heads.
The current international standards used by brands to measure page yield are:
