Not cost effective

Comments about Canon EP-87 Drum Cartridge:

I have had the printer that this is used for for almost 8 years and it is a real work horse. I may not always get the 20,000 page yield that is advertised(I usually get 10,000)but you need to remember that the advertised rate does not take into account reality. Using however the real numbers, the yield is comporable to any decent color laser printer being made today and mine is as I said 8 years old and I print an average of 12000 pages + 2000 envelopes + 200-300 brochures per year with presentation docs done at higher resolution. That means higher usage and lower yield.

Like all printers the cost of the printer/fax/scanner is the least cost. The major cost is toner and ink :-(

Something to keep in mind for anyone who isn't getting the yields they expected - the drum is estimated to last 20,000 pages (images). When you print a single color page (letter size) that is 4 images(pages)! Black pages count as one image, color pages are 4 images as they use black, cyan, magenta & yellow. Also, keep in mind that all supplies are rated at 5% coverage which means only 5% of the total page has any toner on it. Most applications are using 20% or more coverage.
