Stylus pro ink usage

mrcup · 30th June 2009

Hi,

I was looking at getting a low end wide format printer that atleast does A2 and half-settled on the stylus pro 4800. How fast does it go through ink on canvas? Since its £500 for a set I was wondering roughly how many A2 canvas prints I would actually get for a set.

Thanks.

if for Stylus Pro 3850 a full set set of ink 8 cartridge of 80 ml per pieces should be able to print up to 200 copies of A2 or more

In addition, the 4800 has larger ink cartridges. I think 130ml per cartridge. That should mean more prints before replacement.

BTW, does anyone know the price for the 3850 and 4800?

Thanks.

Regards.

Thanks for the reply. The 3800 is selling for USD1095 (SGD 1500 approx). That's a surprisingly big difference.

Thanks and regards.

Sure it is cheaper in the US and if you can you import from US, i assured you, the local SP3850 ink cartridge cannot be use, look the same can slot in but it will prompt you wrong cartridge or ink error

the other thing if you import it all the way here the price will come to be about the same and also you cannot local warranty
