After 40 prints, most of them at the highest quality, the ink levels were as follows:

According to Primera at 1200dpi you can do about 130 full disk prints per cartridge. They estimate around 200 full disks at 600dpi and about 90 at 2400dpi. This of course can vary depending on the image that is being printed. In addition, the colors in the graphic and cartridges your printing with (black, 6-color, 3-color, etc.) also effect cost-per-print. When printing 4800 dpi, 3-color on the Signature Z6 CD/DVD Printer, you'll get 150-400 discs per cartridge, depending on the area of coverage on the disc's surface. For 4800 dpi, 6-color, you'll get 75-175. Also the black cartridge prints black text only and all black graphics are processed black.

The price for each ink cartridge, Color, Photo and Black is US $57.
