'Cost per page' provides a unit cost per print, giving you a like-for-like value to help you compare prices across brands.

For your convenience, cost per page information can be found on Officeworks' shelf edge prices. Cost per page information should be used as a guide only.

'Page yield' refers to the number of pages (based on an average 'test page') a cartridge can print before it runs out.

The cost per page for an individual toner cartridge is calculated using the page yield of that cartridge. The value pack's cost per page is calculated using the average yield of the cartridges in the pack.
