Epson's web page says: INK CARTRIDGES CAPACITY Black: 640 A4pages @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
3.5%
coverage, Colour: 520 A4pages @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
5% coverage.
If you a printing A3 sized images in colour then you would be looking at
twice the area and near 100% coverage so 520/40 = 13 full colour A3
pages would be the sort of number to expect.
The equivalent HP printer would be the Photosmart Pro B9180 and HP
claims approx 85 330x483 (A3+) photos according to the page yield web
page (uk version):
<http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/uk/en/PSPB9180/photo.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_UKEN>.
The full set of 8 ink cartidges will set you back nearly £130 at Amazon
prices as far as I can tell.
If you just want an A3 printer but not the full graphic arts industry
product complete with ICC colour profiles then there are cheaper models.
