What is the cost per page color laser printer? I am thinking that if a standard laser printer is normally estimated to be approximately .05 per page does anyone know a ballpark figure for a color laser?

It depends. If you are looking at getting an HP, be careful. Supplies are expensive and do not last long. Consequently your cost per page is high. You may be better off getting a business class printer. I work for a company that sells these, and cost per page is much lower. For Black and White, the cost is around $.015 per page (8.5 x 11), and for Color, it is around $.075. Shop around...printers that you buy from a store generally end up being more expensive because of supplies.

It depends on what brand of printer, and how you define a page (the page size and the coverage % of colour on the page) 10 - 15 cents a page for pages with a smallish amount of colour is pretty typical. A page with full colour coverage may be 30 - 75 cents worth of toner. Keep in mind that you also have to replace other components of laser printers besides the toner -- drums, developers, belts, finishing units, etc. - this cost can add up.
