15. Aggregate IT Purchasing Program NEW for 2010 - PRINTERS The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Based on acquisition of the printer and 3 year warranty along with the projected cost of consumables (ink/toner) and replaceable service parts. Please note: The Personal Black and White category requires a 1 year warranty. For purposes of evaluation, selection and award, TCO is represented as a cost per page based on estimated print volumes for the duration of the required warranty period for the printer purchased. Consistent with Executive Order 111 the specifications require every printer be Energy Star compliant Consistent with the specification for printing devices being developed under Executive Order 4, all of the printers must be duplex capable. The specifications require all printers delivered through this initiative must be delivered with the toner/ink cartridge(s) normally provided through the NYS printer contract. Replacement toner/ink cartridges must be the contractors’ highest yield cartridges available, not only because they are typically the most cost effective, but also because fewer cartridges have a positive impact from an environmental perspective.
