It's not new the cost of ink cartridges, drums, etc...
Although where I work we take copiers with cost per page, we still have a few machines where we are responsible for consumables.
Some around 10 years old, for the drum, it tells you to change it, but no chip. You reset the counter to 0, and here we go again.
Others have a small kind of sim card, and there, without changing it, you can't...
But, on aliexpress, you find these chips ... between 5 and 10€ each.
On the other hand, even if the drum at 100 copies is "dead" when you change the chip, you make about 000 more, but after the quality is no longer there ....
On thunder it will depend on your impression. On a cartridge of 20-25 pages, with the use we have of it, we generally do not do much more...
You rent a copier for 3 or 5 years, and sometimes it's more worth it after a few years to leave it in a corner, because by taking a new machine, you have a much lower cost per copy, and it pays for itself faster. It's a bit crazy, but that's the way it is...
More than 10 years ago, a cost of 80€ for 1000 color pages was fine.
Now, you negotiate that for less than 30€, depending on the machine...
