Do I need to replace the ink everytime I replace the paper? I noticed the ink and paper comes together.

Yes, every 36 pieces of paper per ink, you do not need to buy extra paper or ink.

I have written on wet paper and have rubbed it with a wet sponge. The ink stayed and wrote well. The paper gave out before the writing did.

I'm sorry to say I have not had the need to replace either red or blue ink refills yet since I use it more as a stylist. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Pat P.

if it is the thin clear covering over the area the ink goes through to the printer you can leave it alone. The printer will get the ink. My first replacement was black ink and it was the same way. It will still work. I printed something first and then it recognized it. If it does not print using that cartridge...call or write the place that you bought your ink. I hope this helps and Happy Printing :D

I leave the white strip on so the printer can pull it in. I also make sure the ink is going to print on the rough feeling side of the paper or it will smear.

It doesn't leak for me if I am careful to remove the little pull-off tab first. Then turn the cartridge over and twist off the cap over the ink. I suppose that, if you see excess ink when you twist off the cap, you might want to have a paper towel available to blot the excess ink (but this has not happened to me so long as I remove the little pull-off tab first). I confess that I, uh, didn't read the instructions the first time I put in one of these cartridges - I removed the twist off portion first - and it leaked. Now I am careful to follow the instructions about what to remove first when installing a new cartridge. It doesn't leak for me if I am careful to remove the little pull-off tab first.

No, the photo paper that is used contains ink embedded in the paper, it's called "z-ink" paper or something similar.

I have had this problem before with ink I purchased from Sam's Club. I brought back the ink and they replaced it. Appears to be some type of problem with who's making the ink. I guess you'll have to contact the person you purchased the ink from and go from there. It's a real pain but there is not other choice. You may want to bring the ink to a store and see if they will replace it. I'm sure you (I) are not the only ones with this problem. The larger stores will know about it, just hope they own up to it.

I have an older Epson and was wanting to replace it for that very reason. I can't print anything when any color is out. So it says I need to replace the light blue and won't let me print anything until I do. Since I never use color, I'm guessing the blue just dried out. At any rate, I can't figure how to override that and just use black. Maybe it is just an Epson thing, as you said, to get us to buy more ink. I'm with you, I want to keep going until the ink fades and I can really see it is almost out.

I checked out the printer and it looks like it uses this paper and ink pack.

If you're asking if the ink dries out before you use it up... I don't use the ink saver mode & I don't print nearly as much as you do and I've never had the ink dry up. I don't change the ink when it says I'm running low - I wait until it tells me I'm out of that color. I only replace the color ink that has run completely out.

I've also had some issues with printing repetitive sheets and it not having enough ink. The first thing to try is just running a printer cleaning cycle. If that doesn't work, I have removed the cartridges in the printer and sucked ink (using the supplied syringe that fits over the cartridge outlet on the bottom) into the cartridge and that seems to fix the lack of ink problem. I've been using the continuous ink system for over a year now and overall it has saved me hundreds of dollars with only a little maintenance issues.

Sounds daft but have you pulled the tab off the new cartridge properly? Theres sometimes a clear film over where the ink comes out for stopping it drying out whilst on the shelf. Try print head alignment through the maintenence function

I find the ink usage less than HP's, but unless you step to an MX8XX series, yes, you do need to replace a color cartridge if one of the colors runs out. I've gone months without needing to replace a cartridge though.

Good morning, David! I notice that if I continually use the printer, the ink is used normally but if it sits for any length of time (e.g. week, weeks, months) than the ink dries up! The ink may be inexpensive but so much of it is wasted! I also don't like that if the color ink runs out the printer shuts down. I will not purchase another printer like this, inexpensive or not! Good luck!

Nope. Just the black ink cartridge so far, and the other ink cartridges are getting low and will need to be replaced soon. Other than that, all has been A-OK for many months with this printer. (And I've had about 10 HP Deskjets and similar models since the original in the 1990s. I've never had to replace any ink service module in any printer.)

Not all replacements are compatible, because some take photo ink and others do not, you need to make sure that you are getting the right ink, some say not compatible with printers that need photo ink.
