Thane,
There is a complex formula and special page image that most priter
companies use to help them compute (fabricate/lie) about their printed
pages/catridge. Please note that this business does NOT use 100%
coverage. I just do not know many folk that print fully black pages.
I have to claim age/time/forgetfulness for not recalling what the
'coverage' percentage was/is. But I do recall that there is a specification
about this the all printer makers try to meet/exceed. And, alot of this
has do do with various makers 'image generators.'
HTH,
Duncan

Thane,
Quite correct.Not truly quantifiable, but if you normally use
1200dpi, reducing the resolution to 600dpi equates to a 50% savings
per image/page.
Reducing resolution to 300fpi equates to a 75% savings per
image/page. But, I do not know how to compute these savings into
dollars and/or
cartridge life. In our modern world this may be a good trail/error
user test with their printer. I have never done this-I still run
default resolution;
and, grumble about cartridge replacement costs.
I spent too many years at Xerox reading memos and such printed on our
laser printers stuck at 300dpi and never had trouble
reading the printed traffic. Yes, some fonts printed worse than
others. Pictures/pix could be pretty bad(lack of fine detail),
butacceptable
for normal business.
Thanks Duncan, that's a significant savings per page. I wonder what
resolution is being used when manufacturers calculate the number of
pages from a toner?
