A full sheet for a small label
The default print layout often wastes most of the A4 surface. The unit cost looks small, but it grows with volume.

How is it calculated?
Sheets saved = 500 - ceil(500 / 4) = 375.
Avoided cost per standalone label = €0.01 for paper + €0.15 for ink = €0.16.
For your current volume, that represents €3.71 of paper and €56.25 of ink, for a total of €59.96 per month.
Good to know: this estimate varies depending on your printer, the actual black coverage of your labels, the cartridge or toner used, and your print settings.
