Ink cartridge life: What cartridge life might I expect from the 830?

It depends how often you print, of course. But I've been buying new print cartridges at least every two months. If you aren't used to a major investment in ink cartridges...forget this printer!

Hello Cindy, That's not an easy question to answer. If you print graphics on a page, it could shorten cartidge life. We have 3 of these printers and the cartridge life varies. 3500 is my best estimate.

I have already printed more than 400 pages, but still going good. I hope it should be good for 1000 pages. My last cartridge with Toner Saver mode and No Text Darken setting it ran up to 1500 pages.

Personally, I think ALL inkjet printers "ink value" is a huge rip off. This printer seems to be average in ink usage compared to all the others I have ever had. I also have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 and both seem to use about the same amount of ink per cartridge. This 7610 is a decent value compared to other printers. No better or worse.

I'm still laughing about the answer from "Mike2so Silicon Valley Native". I don't think I'd want the ink cartridges after they are "all raped up"! I've kept them for up to a year (all wrapped up) without a problem.

There is no chip. There is only the powder that fuses to the paper. If there is a microchip in the cartridge, then the battery piggybacked on the chip has a limited life to it and if not rechargeable an even shorter life. Typically, the life expectancy of such a battery would be probably 7 years. I presume if such a chip fails then the software would report that the cartridge cannot be found or at a minimum fail to report toner levels.

My experience has been that it just stops dead in the middle of a print job if ANY cartridge is "empty". This is very annoying, especially if (as is often with me) I'm only printing B/W.

I have an 8500 All-In-One HP printer, which is not wireless. Don't know about 8000. But the HiVision 940XL did fail after a couple weeks. Still have not tried the color ink cartridges

I don't know, but after over one month of use of the printer, I still have 80 % of the 4 inks left in my printer. I love the printer and I love the low ink usage. I may be getting 5 or 6000 pages per cartrige.

I own model 810 and the ink has been working well for two years. Very happy with it. Has saved me hundreds of dollars

Good info on holding down the green key for about 4 sec to get the page count.Never looked at this before. My very old 1022 printed 15,220 pages... so far ... and still going strong.Here is my data point. I get about 2,000 pages per LD brand toner cartridge.

I use it for an artisan 837 - I do have challenges with the "ribbon" that runs from the cartridge to the ink - it runs under the lid and sometimes the sensor thinks the lid is up and/or invalid cartridge - a little bit of an annoyance for saving the landfills

The cartridges are pre-loaded with ink. All you have to do is install them. I have purchased a few times and have had no problems in my Artisan 830.

I had the same question. i got a good price for the 830 and its slightly upgraded. I am very happy with it.

I would think so. I just had a message last night to change one of the cartridges and it stopped in the middle of a job and didn't start printing until I had replaced that cartridge. BTW, gotta say this has become my favorite printer.

Not sure of the total life but with my particular home office usage, I have no problems with the extra carts. I do buy Epson carts, not some off brand or re-fill.
