Digital BW, The Print

I have just purchased an Epson 4800 printer to be used in printing 
graphite art prints.  

Does anyone have any specifications on the number of copies you can 
print from a cartridge.  I will be printing mostly in Matte Black on 
10x14 sheets.  A rough estimate of the number of copies would greatly 
assist me on what the cost per sheet will be.

Your assistance would be appreciated!

Somewhere on the www.inkjetart.com web site there might be a 
calculator, if not on the main site, check in the forums. The printer 
will use 1/4 to 1/3 when you install the first set of cartidges, so you 
might want to order a second set, or at least a second set of matte 
black, light black and lightest black. The 220ml carts might save you a 
little money if you will be using the printer a lot.

Thank you so much!  That was exactly what I needed!  I typed in 
calculator and I found it immediately.  They have a great Excel 
spreadsheet that assists in calculating the printer's usage and cost.

I have purchased another set of ink cartridges since there is a 
warning on the printer indicating the cartridges provided contain 
only enough ink to cycle up the printer.

Thanks again!

Diane

I would give a rough estimate of 40 cents per print for ink, that's 
using the 220 ml carts at $85 each.
