When this page was last updated, the printer's purchase price was about $300, low for a regular color laser printer. Printing uses up toner and the costs add up over time. This printer uses four (4) cartridges. When the ink runs low, you replace the empty cartridge. The toners we used in testing were the Canon 054 BK, 054 C, 054 M, and 054 Y cartridges—at the time, the prices were $67, $63, $63 and $63 respectively. We estimate each cartridge of toner to last at least 5 years—a long time—following a typical monthly printing amount of 30 text and 14 graphic pages. After 2 years of typical use, we estimate your total equivalent cost to be $417—low for a color laser. The estimated yearly cost is $58, which is low for a color laser type of printer. The theoretical total cost after 5 years is $592. ¶¡Printer Firmware! Firmware is software that exists inside the printer.
