if you print any photos or design work with some color coverage at all, figure up to 10% coverage rather than the 5% xerox estimates
i use my xerox 7300 for graphic intensive stuff, rarely will print anything with just text -- my coverage for the last 3 years has been: 9% cyan, 10% magenta, 11% yellow and 6% black
ive run 55,000 pages so far, but i would say 50,000 of them have been 12 X 18 sheets, which for xerox counts as 2, so nearly 100,000 pages since i have bought it
my carts run $300 each CMY and $200 for black, and supposed to get 15,000 prints per cart with 5% coverage. $180 for imaging units, which last 2 X the toner
im lucky if i get 5,000 sheets
great printer, but i have spent 10X the cost of the printer on toner vs the price of the printer new, about $3500
