Comment Comment by bookman10 That would be including paper and toner, although it can be more.For example, I can buy 5,000 sheets of printer paper for around $50. You use both sides so that would be half a cent per page.I use an ink tank printer and you can get maybe a quart of ink for around $15.It wouldn't include wear and tear on the printer, which is harder to quantify.I also like to use cream colored paper instead of white which adds another half cent per page for perfect binding. Glue for the spine is a penny.The cover itself might be around 20 cents of paper and 5 cents of ink. parent bookman10 8 months ago
