It depends on the size of the print, the typr of paper being used and the quality of the print.

I use this printer for very colorful digital art on 50lb art paper , I have done about 60 11x14 prints and emptied most of the cartridges , if you stock up on the low cost official cartridges the price is ok if not it would be unaffordable. I think I mentioned my work is 11x14 , still more reasonable then sending out, the printer itself has has some issues with the rear feed system and I never know if its the software ore the printer . For the price to be able to print wide format it's worth it to me, it uses ink though! I already have bought 2 sets of the lower cost Epson ink , so no worries, just to be clear I have not used all the ink purchased , just nice to have it on hand as it was fairly inexpensive

quite a few! i still haven't ran out, though i am getting closer. usually black will run out first. my estimate 200 sheet with total use of all bottle, but, i really think i am way way way under the true amount! they last a long time depending on how much you print . . .

This cartridge yielded 1103 pages. Many of those were extremely heavy on the ink (e.g. all black page with white lettering, etc.). I would expect to get approx 2000+ pages of normal usage.

depends on your printer-- we took ours to Kinkos--plus save on the ink since we were running off quite a few for wedding programs

Yes, it does seem to use more ink than other printers. I don't use the printer very often but have had to replace cartridges several times. Sometimes after I haven't used it for a while it won't work until I clean the heads and that usually uses up most of a cartridge.

I did not track, but it would be fair to say a couple hundred. It is not a high capacity cartridge that comes with it. I found a refurbished ink place on Amazon called MPC Direct who is extremely reasonable and seems to work great! The black ran out and I'm still using the 3 color cartridges that csme with the printer at time of purchase. I love the printer! It works great and does everything it claims.

I think ink this question has been misdirected to me. I do not sell the product but only use it myself.

I do no know exactly how many I teach a little pre School Sunday School class and do tons of printing and I think an xl ink prints about twice the amount of regular ink I like it so well I only buy the XLink

Not sure. Haven't kept track. However, I use my printer in my home office environment which means I don't print much each day but at times I may print half a ream of paper! I can tell you this: I put in a high yield cartridge and it last almost a complete year. I just replaced my cartridge with another high yield. Hope this helps. Specs say you should get 6,000 sheets of text and I totally agree that from my experience you will get at least that.

According to the most recent (fall 2014) tests by Consumer Reports, this printer used $5.60 per month in the testing and had extremely low maintenance consumption. When one color runs out you can still print. See my long answer at top of Q&As.; Have been unable to find recent pages-per-cartridge test results.

I don't know the exact answer, but you can rest assured it is a lot. We tried both the after-market cheap ones and the real deal. Use the real cartridges, they actually have more ink in them than the cheaper ones. We have run off many many hundreds of pages with the replacement set. No problems. We used to use a laser but the powdered ink junk leaked all over the place and the print outs were streaked. We threw it out....

I've been using the printer for 5 months, and still have not run out of the colored inks. I am not a heavy user for photos, so can't actually directly answer your question. Since no one else has come forward, I thought I might offer a mathematical suggestion.Go to the printer maintenance picture where it displays the amount of ink you have in the cartridges. Print screen that and keep. Print a good number of your photos, over a few days or weeks, whatever, then print out the ink tank picture again. Compare the two printouts for ink levels, and may be able to give some imprecise indication of how much ink you are using.

They are full. I don't use my printer everyday but the ink lasts just as long as name brand ink.

I am a medium construction company and use 24 x 26 roll paper for prints. Since purchasing my plotter I have used 4 rolls of paper for prints and the original ink cartridge is still in use. Hope the answers your question.

Hello Lynne,From my past experience with Epson printers , I assure you that those printers use less ink than others by 25/40 percent less.

It comes with two 20-mL containers of ink (40 mL total). From the instructions, apparently a standard ink cartridge is 4 mL, and extra large is 10 mL, so 10 or 4 refills, respectively.

I just bought this printer and am already in need of more ink. The ink multi-package I bought from Epson cost about $45. With the cartridges that came with the printer I was able to print around thirty-five 4x6" high-quality color photos and about ten 8x11" photos of the same quality. Ink does seem to go fast when printing like this. Hope that helps.
