Just throwing this out there, roughly how many A4 sheets of full colour print would you expect to get from a full set of Sawgrass inks

different inks different sizes ....
last time is did the maths, on smaller official carts it was just under 10p per mug.....

Thanks Logobear, that means I am looking about 5p per coaster.

I'd up that - your paper alone is around 10p an A4 sheet!
I work on a guesstimate guideline of approx £1 per full colour A4 for sawgrass inks - you'd rather be way over than under IMO

Thanks John

10p an A4 sheet works out at 2.5p for four coasters to a sheet, so I should be in there might up my ink costs a little I am working on 20p per coaster thats 80p per A4 sheet.

Sometime ago I had a link to a page on the Sawgrass website which showed various sizes of paper and the approximate cost per print using Trupix paper. The only price that sticks in my mind was A4 @ 37p per print with a full coverage of ink on the sheet of paper. Knowing how marketing works, I suspect that would have been plus VAT

I have not looked for this link for years now (I don't use SG inks or that much TP paper), but I suspect you could probably add no more than 10% to these prices and still be over the real cost of printing.

Always best to be over rather than under, although if you are working out coasters 20p per coaster I think is a good guess


EDIT: Come to think of it I am not sure if the Sawgrass website included the cost of paper or not.
