Frequently Asked Questions
CPP stands for Cost Per Page, a metric that calculates the cost of printing a single page based on cartridge cost and page yield.
CPP is calculated by dividing the cartridge cost by the page yield. For example, a $30 cartridge with 500 pages yields a CPP of $0.06.
CPP helps compare the efficiency of different printers and cartridges, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective option for your printing needs.
