Hey all,
Just interested to know if anyone actually knows how the 5% coverage is equated with so many characters per page, for example, these are the figures (pasted from a canon pamphlet, below) for the ip4000. In my natural way of thinking Im just wondering if they somehow have a way to count how many pixels are "used" as opposed to "non-inked" paper. This mainly applies to text printing, though I could see how this principle would apply to images though MUCH more complex when youre talking about millions of colours !!!
Thanks for any enlightenment,

Black ink tank life BCI-3eBK: 330 pages at 5% coverage; BCI-6BK: 440 pages at 5% coverage
BCI-3eBK: 1500 pages, BCI-6BK: 2000 pages (Printing ISO/JIS-SCID N5)
Colour ink tank(s) life 440 pages at 5% coverage per ink tank
Cyan: 550 pages, Magenta: 430 pages, Yellow: 360 pages (Printing ISO/JIS-SCID N5)
Print volume figures may vary with the content of the document and the print mode. Black calculation based on an average of four printers run
continuously until ink out printing 1500 characters per page, normal text, in default mode on plain paper using Windows XP and Word 2003.
