Calculate Ink Usage





Formula

The formula to calculate the ink usage (IU) is:

\[ IU = \frac{PC \times NP}{CY} \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the page coverage percentage (PC) is 5%, the number of pages printed (NP) is 200, and the cartridge yield (CY) is 1000 pages per cartridge. Using the formula:

\[ IU = \frac{5 \times 200}{1000} \]

We get:

\[ IU = 1 \, \text{cartridge} \]

So, the ink usage is 1 cartridge.
