I'm comparing it mainly to an Epson 1160 with MIS ink in a CFS which is negligible in cost per print once it's running, especially if you use EEM paper. The HP #59 carts are $24 at Target (cheapest I've found) and the HP Glossy Premium Plus paper is about a buck a sheet (I cut down 11x17" so I can get 8x12" prints out of the printer) so each print costs between $2-3 depending on ink usage. I think the Epson/MIS prints cost around $.35 per print on 8.5x11" paper, but that is after you buy all your equipment. You probably have to make hundreds of prints before you break even on the MIS/Epson equipment cost though. mark ... > Mark, > Can you say more on the 'extra money it costs to run' (Re; the 7660)? > > Thanks, > JimD ...
