True cost to runFB500 to a Oce 318

[Rotsennad]

Trying to compare cost to runFB500 to a Oce 318
Supply cost I hear that the oce is about $.08 to .10 square foot compared HP of $.15 to .18 for 200 percent coverage. Maybe figures are exact but they close?
What about electric, lamp cost, service?
I read about that service or parts after year one may be more on the oce

are those cost significant enough to really consider?

don't look at spec sheets. The 500 and the oce will run you close to 15 - 20 cents a square. I have a HPFB.

The only machine that gaurntees 13 cents a square is Agfas. The Oce 318 is TOO SLOW for any type of production shop.
