In General, Ink consumption will vary depending on your specific usage. Factors such as the size and coverage of your designs, the number of passes selected in the software, and how frequently you print all contribute to overall ink usage.
Estimated Ink Consumption: Standby (no print tasks): When the printer is idle, it performs automatic maintenance routines that consume a small amount of ink.
This is more accurate way to know your ink consumption/ cost which is a great feature you get with xTool Printers.For precise calculations based on your specific designs, use the Ink Estimated Cost feature in xTool Creative Space (XCS) software (see image below).

- Assuming cleaning occurs every 3 days, each cycle uses about 3ml of color ink and 3ml of white ink.
- Over one month, this equals roughly 30ml of white ink and 30ml of color ink total (≈7.5ml per CMYK color).
