The prices posted for HP printing are way off base. Also, for those who think the average coverage on a page is 12%, it is actually more like 5%.

We have 750,000,000 pages under contract . the average is about 5%. The lie that many present is 12% to make the reason to print to an mfp look better. 
I have some pages that represent page coverage for copiers and or MFP's, I will post them here.
Recently, I had a customer that was averaging 9,000 pages per cartridge (reman). They were paying $70.00. This represents a cpp of .00777 per page!
Of course this does not include the fuser kit, no on-site service, no phone support, no next day shipment of supplies, and no courtesy calls (on-site).
I will post the scanned docs later.

on our B2C products you can send a print job to it and there is an SP code that will tell you what the coverage amount is for each color. Of the ones that I have run they have all been between 9% and 13% when you add the total of the 4 colors. Usually with black only it is closer to the 10% level. Frankly, I don't have to make the mfp look better if I am doing my job right I am also replacing the hp printers with my gestetners. If all I am looking at is to place mfp's I will never gain TDV. Total Document Volume of any business I am working with.
per year. We have t&m, service and cpp.
You can hope and want, but your information is just a little off. I am using an average of 10,000 printers.

I would have to agree with you that the prices they post are way off, but the average page coverage we see in accounts, according to my calculations, are more in the 20-25% range.

How do you measure coverage with B2C product?
