TRENTON — Tired of running out of ink in your printer and spending money on costly refills? A bill that now heads to Gov. Chris Christie’s desk aims to give you a heads up on how many pages you can expect to print with an ink cartridge. The state Senate today passed the bill (A1230) 33-6.

FYI: Toshiba, overall, is in the top ten for RD Spend-to-Sales ratios. "Bottom dweller" really is not a fair use of words. With any device manufacturer, product is only as good as its dealer support. Get references if need be. RE: maintenance; The asker is talking BW devices not color. Regardless, get the maintenance. Fewer spikes in copy quality or hardware issues because you'll make that phone call to fix rather than putting up with poor copy quality, etc. for fear of how much it might cost

in total spend as of Q1 2013. While they may have a good ratio of RD to sales ratio, the volume of dollars they spend on RD on their MFD's are rather small in comparison to the top four - and it shows in the reflection of market share and acceptance on a corporate purchasing level. My point is not to brow beat or denigrate - it is simply this. Acknowledge the truth of your product and don't try to make it something it isn't or others will mostly likely know it and tag you as just a salesman

Um......no printer manufacturer that I know of posts the cost per page on the box. Doubt any manufacturer will add this for the sake of one of the tiniest states in the country. The law of unintended consequences tells me this may push sales out of the state.

Actually, I did not mention that I am offering any equipment to them. I'm not even sure where they are located, I'm not looking to sell them, All of the recent MFP's that I've seen at the shows have pretty much the same GUI I do remember something about a more robust partnering with Toshiba/
