But even these models, which are more capable and more expensive than the MFC-J985DW, have higher running costs: 1.6 cents per monochrome page and 6.7 cents per color page for the Epson WF-6590, and 1.3 cents per monochrome page and 6.8 cents per color page for the HP 577dw.
If you choose to tackle a painting project yourself, there are several items you'll need to purchase. The first is paint. Expect to pay between $15 and $30 per gallon of paint, and you'll need 2-3 gallons for an average-sized bedroom (with some left over for contingencies and touch-ups). You also have several options for the shine or gloss of your paint. Flat finish or wall paint is paint with a matte surface that doesn't reflect light.
1 Interior paint itself costs anywhere from $12-$50 or more a gallon, depending on the quality. 2  Painting a 12x12-foot room, both walls and ceiling, can require $25-$100 worth of paint, plus $10-$50 for primer, brushes, rollers, drop clothes and other supplies. would love to know the total sq footage of that 10 room house that you charged $9000+ to paint. Yes the wall sq footage was 5900, but $1.80 per square foot of wall space is a bit high for a residential repaint IMO. Take for example, I charge 1.75 sq foot for 10x10 room with 8 foot ceilings.
