A printer that uses light inks to avoid graininess in the light areas will
probably use more ink than one that doesn't. Also, a printer that has spot
colors (i.e., red, blue or green) will probably use less ink than one that
doesn't.

On the other hand, the cost of ink has absolutely nothing to do with the
volume of liquid. It's all marketing and distribution, and whatever the
market will bear.
