how long does the ink last
1509864
Ha! Good question. Not as long as my previous photosmart. However, with the air print, I am printing out everything interesting I see on my ipad. I suggest you get the xl ink packs at BJ's or Walmart. Also, the last a lot longer then the warning you get. My printer has been telling me the ink is low for 3 weeks, and my prints are just fine. Wait until the icon on the screen shows empty. I know, more info than you wanted. Hope this helps.

It, really; depends on how much and how often you print. Mine last quite a long time , but I don't print that often.

Unfortunately impossible to answer. Dependent on a wide variety if factors including print quality selection, paper type and the amount of color on the page. Anecdotally I think the HP uses a bit more ink than comparable Canon product in the same use scenarios.

Initial Cartridges are small and low in ink. The replacements although pricy do well.

I recommend buying Preton ink saver software. My cartridges last 2-3 longer then before.

I print quite a bit and I've only replaced the black ink once, even though I do mostly color printing.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

It is all relative. The ink cartridges are roughly 500 pages with extra large capacities.. BUT if you do photos it is much less.

Depends on your use - that's obvious, I know. We have two separate computers using the printer and tend to go through the black ink very quickly.

Approximately 10 times, based on instructions with a list showing the amount (I used 3.5ml as specified). I am about halfway with the ink left and just guessing this amount and may go over. You can estimate based on your cartridge brand and the amount sold to you. BTW based on the instructions you will need to bleed 1ml of the black ink, but make sure you reuse the 1 ml of ink upon the next refill. FYI Ebay sells gallons of these for about $40, which should last about twenty or so YEARS, equivalent to pennies per refill. LOL

Time, it takes the ink a while to dry completely, and the you need to spray it with a fixer or cover it with a clear plastic otherwise the water based ink will run.

I replaced the cartridge few months ago still printing I am unable to tell you how long is going to last I used it on a daily basis.

If it is well sealed (has proper plugs if refilled), and used approximately every two weeks printing low volumes. It will last for 6 mths to 9 mths. DO NOT leave the printer not printing for long periods of time, it will clog the heads. Print a page or two every week to keep the heads lubricated.

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.

I have had mine on hand for seven months and I changed the ink out last week and it works just fine. And I do keep it in a cool dry place as well.

About a half hour or so. Depending on how much they color in one spot. The "marker" is just filled with water, so if they color a lot in one spot, and it gets more wet right there, it takes longer. It starts to gradually fade after a few minutes though.

Well...an ink container lasts me about six months, but I don't print that much. I think you could google this and find out how many one-page documents one container can print.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

The Ink doesn't expire. It does have a "limited warranty date" which may or may not still be valid.

You will not know until you receive the packages. If you order from a decent seller, it will be at least 1 year later, possibly 2 years later. The ink dries, so they cannot be stored for indefinite amount of time.

That would depend on how much you print. Ink cartridges have a shelf life of a year or more depending on how you care for them. If it is exposed to high heat, sun, or cold conditions it won't last as long. I can tell you that I print a lot of color on a daily basis and my toner lasted a month and a half, and I was shocked. The other printers I have had in the past burned through ink, This Brother is amazing as it is ink efficient.

My black ink lasted 4 months before I ran out. and I printed approximately 600 pages. My Brother model has a ink saver mode which I use unless I want a very bold print.

Its supposed to have more ink. So far it does but dont know how long it will last.

The ink dries fairly quick. To be safe, I usually wait a minute, just to make sure its completely dry. It all depends on what you're using them on though. Hope this helps!!
