The $1 per page is just for the regular ink that it uses, there's
nothing
special (from the printer's perspective) about printing on decal paper. 
It
wasn't actually intended as a decal printer, it just ended up being
perfect for
the job.  I think they intended it as a higher quality alternative to
inkjet.

By the way, that $1 figure is for an "average" color page, taken from a
review I
read on the web.  I'm not sure how much a black cartridge costs, but I
imagine
it wouldn't be that much more expensive to run it as your normal printer
(considering the costs of inkjet carteridges these days)
