Now, how do you expect the OP to understand this your 'KINGS' english?

lol

kekakuz: I needed to print my online materials so went to a cafe.the attendant told me a page is N50 and I need to print about 100 pages.to save money, I decided to photocopy my friends copy at N5 per page. the attendant used the same machine for printing to photocopy,same paper same ink. This situation is like that almost every where, why is printing more costlier than photocopy. Some even charge N60 if printed from the internet.

They just play on the ignorance of the masses who happen to be very ignorant, everytime I have to print something outside cause either am out of ink or outta the house I grumble gravely.
Even scanning which dosnt use any form of ink costs between 100 and 200 Naira, the chagre on this should be basic operating cost.
It's just every man's greed, I've though of starting my own printing business and running it a little over expenses in order to run the greedy people out of business...

Time is money. I guess it would take longer to print off the internet than to photocopy..so he is charging for the time the machine would be tied up printing uour 100 pages.

kekakuz:
O wise man. The op said the cafe attendant used same paper same machine same ink

Fixed!

Exponental: In a simple language, I will
"printing is original n photocopy is not"...........compare both, there is quality difference (provided machines are in good form).
U can photocopy what has been printed but u cant printed what is photocopied.

GBAGAUN!!!!!!!!!

Copying generally refers to the process of applying toner electrostatically onto paper. The duplicating machines found in most office environments, for example, are copiers. Copiers are ideal for black-and-white short runs with relatively less exacting demands for image quality.

So in your situation, if you are only interested in black-and-white and image quality is not of importance to you, you are better off copying than printing.

all na lie...just go to parrot cafe in ilorin..both photocopy and printing is the same..,what happen is that if you print in a cafe from the internet or flash,d operator will charge more money than photocopy because they want to make profit..naija we dy naw..go to hospital for malaria treatment,,no b different moni u go pay if u go to dat anti nurse in ur street...everything is just packaging

I think some persons on this thread have confused the point OP is trying to raise.

He is not comparing toner to catridges as some people here are clarifying based on that. As long as you use the same printer, photocopy or printing from a pc consumes as much ink depending on what you are printing. For example, if you decide to print a B/W picture of the Nigerian flag, it will consume the same ink quantity as photocopying this same picture on the same printer. Remember any shaded portion of a picture will be printed as black, so the question of quality does not come in here.

The biz cafes charging at different rates on the same printer are only trying to make more profit. There is no justification as to difference in printing from the computer or photocopying the same material on the same printer.

u make catarrh komot 4 ma yansh.

The ink used is function of output properties and not document source.
I use a very high quality HP multifunction printer/copier/scanner. I mistakingly submitted my original document to British embassy and kept the copy. I discovered later after I noticed the paper was just too neat compared to others.
Don't allow biz centers fool you.

I currently have a lot on my plate, but a straight thinking business man will take advantage of the situation and make more profit on the long run while doing the same thing at a cheaper rate!

My friend theres a lot you cant just see from outside...you need to be on the inside to understand it.

I get you, but my point is that the margin between cost and what is being charged is too wide...
And the truth is that it's just because of ignorance of the average joe on the street!

A lot of reasons;

1. Photocopy requires a photocopier (only).

2. Printing requires a printer, a set of computer and sometimes internet and virus-infested usb connections. So who is going to pay for a deteriorating shelf-life? Government?

3. Printing requires operational skills. Printing as easy as it seems, require a level of skill. Not every computer literate can print certain documents and skill acquisition isn't free. Photocopying requires little or no skill.

4. Don't dwell on the ink and paper. Scanning cost more and it requires no ink/paper. Should business centres now scan for N1 because you can't see beyond ink and paper?

If you want to do all for free, go and get a data processing training and your equipment. Life isn't that hard. However, there's a lot you don't know about this business.
