How many prints from a set of cartridges?

(1/1)

Doug B:
  Just found out that our other plant has a Brother GT 782 that they want to send to my location. Just doing some research to get a rough idea as to how many prints I can get out of a set of carts. Let's say
a 11" by 12" full front 4color process on darks with a double hit of white. Something tells me that they
are not charging enough. Don't want to get into prints per hour, just pieces before changing carts.

mk162:
There are so many variables...but I think your average ink cost per shirt on that machine for a print size like that is around $4-6.

At this point that is a legacy machine...I don't know if it's worth it to print white with it anymore.  CMYK, sure, but white ink costs on the older machines was higher and they waste A LOT...like A LOT LOT LOT

Doug B:
  Thanks... Something like that is what I figured. Taking the cost of a 500cc cartridge, it gives me a good idea of what can be done with this machine.
