View source for How much ink on average does an office use?

Depending on the printer model, toners have a capacity varying between 2000-10000 sheets with 5% coverage. This number is usually overstated by the manufacturers, so in practice is around 70% of the declared capacity. Given the average number of sheets that an office employee prints out (around 10000), typically he/she would need between 1-5 toners per year.
