See: Online Printing Cost
*Online Printing Cost
Personal printers vary in printing cost depending on your machine. For an accurate cost comparison, you will need to calculate the cost per page for your printer.
Each flight (one year of instruction) has approximately 200 pages.
Please note: The first lesson of the unit/writing project has about 10 pages to print. The remaining lessons in the unit has only one-two pages to print.
Ink jet printing costs (black and white) will range from $14.00-$16.00/year or .07 – .08 /page. Cost will be much lower on laser printers.
Helpful Hint: Print only the student worksheets. Use another device such as a tablet/pad or your cell phone to access the “teacher scripted lesson” rather than printing. This will reduce printing by 32 pages.
