The customers want sharper colors, a better correspondence between what they see on screen and what they print on paper, and a sensor that can be connected to the PC speaker to issue an audio "out of paper" warning. The additional spending required to provide these features and the value index for these three components are as follows:

Ink Cartridge $27 .780
Color Sensor $18 1.4689
Paper Sensor $5 .500
