We charge $.25 per copy for 8 1/2 x 11, and $.50 per copy for 11 x 17.
We replace copies for free when the machine fails to automatically
reverse negative to positive or incorrectly reverses positive to
negative (happens often with newspaper pages with large areas of
photographs), or if the copy is poor due to toner running out, etc. 

We do not charge other state agencies for copies, but on the rare
occasion when another agency has a large project, we ask them to at
least bring their own paper, or to donate a toner cartridge if they can.

We charge 25 cents per page for all copies.  However I think it is
justifiable to charge more for microfilm prints because of the toner
use.

We have a customer who uses our microfilm reader/printer to print
articles from the NY Times and local newspaper.
He prints hundreds of copies and has caused our cost for purchasing
toner cartridges to triple. We currently charge .10 per copy.  What are
other libraries charging?   We are considering increasing the cost of
making copies to offset the cost of the toner ($165. per cartridge).

   We charge the same .20/page regardless of the number of pages they
copy. Paper,toner and electricity go into our equation for cost and
those things don't change based on number of copies. I think it's the
"mega mentality"(More is cheaper)
   We aren't Sam's Club or Costco where more is supposed to be cheaper.
