- Disclaimer: The total cost of ownership (TCO) is based on the initial purchase cost of hardware plus the costs of ink or toner over a fixed period (see below for conditions). Please note that additional variable costs may influence the total cost of ownership, including but not limited to other consumables, ink and toner bundles, high yield ink and toner packs, servicing, power consumption and replacement parts.
The percentage cost savings stated represent an estimation of the total cost savings for the specified print volume of 1000 pages a month (50% colour and 50% mono) over a period of 60 months (5 years).
The total cost of ownership (TCO) is based on the following calculation: [Average colour CPP x colour print volume - minus bundled ink/ toner pages] plus [Average mono CPP x mono print volume - minus bundled ink/ toner pages] plus [cost of hardware] plus [cost of maintenance cartridge for MAXIFY GX models only].
The comparison models in the total cost of ownership (TCO) savings include the comparable competitor models from Epson. The selling price of the printers in EUR (€) and price of consumables were obtained from manufacturer official website (https://www.epson.de/) on 12th September 2022.

The comparison excludes combo packs, XL and multipacks. This data is publicly available. - Page Yield is the estimated value based on Canon individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement after initial setup.
