Ink cartridge life My HP720c used a black cartridge per year and a color cartridge every 2 years. What cartridge life might I expect from the 830?

Goes through ink like water. I've never seen a printer go through expensive ink cartridges so fast.

Eric, do you really consider $220.00, discounted from $249.99 MSRP is "cheap"? Not in my book.

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!

This printer has a voracious appetite for ink. It automatically consumes ink to clean the print heads when the machine is turned on. I have watched the on-screen display of ink consumption waiting for the printer to warm up to print. Color ink is also used in printing black. The less the printer is used the more ink will be consumed in head cleaningConsider another printer if you cannot afford a major investment for ink. I wish I had purchased a previous model

Does the machine go through a cleaning process only after it is turned on does it do a periodic cleaning when left on. My Brother, which broke and I am looking to replace, did the periodic cleaning and used a lot of ink.

these cartridges (the 5s and 8s) can actually be refilled; i've been doing it since i bought my mp500 almost 2 years ago.

The point is: the cost of the ink will soon exceed the cost of the printer! They sell you the printer for cheap so they can soak you on the ink!

I have the same problem with this printer. Compared to the HP I used to have, it runs through ink, but otherwise I really like the printer. In the end, though, it's going to cost me a lot more to keep using this printer and buying all the ink I'll need to. So does anyone have a recommendation for a different all-in-one printer that doesn't use ink as fast as the 830?

Toner life can be measured in number of prints being as the time it lasts depends on your use. So far I have had mine for 3 months and the original cartridges it came with are still working and the three colors still have 80% left and the black has 60% left. The cartridges it came with is listed to last 1,000 pages each while the OEM cartridges you would buy to replace them is listed to have a life of 2,200 pages for the black and 2,400 pages for the colors each at 5% toner coverage. Hope this helps.

Go Canon's site and select Products. Next select Printers. http://consumer.usa.canon.com/Place check marks next to both printers and select "Compare Now". You will see the features of each. (I tried to insert a link to the page but Amazon cut it off.)I purchased the 830 due to the print resolution in color. 9600x2480 DPI - That is double the resolution of the 780. If printing in B and W the resolutions are the same. The price is 50 dollars more for the 830. Canon will make more money from the sale of ink.

You need to buy HP 02 cartridges. This is a good printer. I had my 1st one for 7-8 years before it died on me. I recently found another printer on Amazon about 1 month ago. I also have had that same message about the cartridges but I still keep using them. The cartridges last longer than my other newer printer with 564 Cartridges. I know it is an older printer but I like the quality of my pictures.

I have the same printer, although it is now several years old, and that is the ink cartridge I have been using. I have priced both Amazon and HP; the pricing is very similar.

The smaller black cartridge does not last as long but I print a lot of documents.the last one lasted 3 months compared to 5 months on the color.

Mine is the hp psc 1100/1200 series. . . .the black cartridge did not last very long, and gave problems. Replaced it with the other and so far this month there have been no problems. Thinking I got a bad one of two!

It all depends on how much you print, there's three bottles of black, and one of each color for your color cartridge. I don't print that much but I still have almost fill bottles. So I would say, it would last one person a long time.

The starter cartridges lasted about 700 pages black and 1300 pages on the color set.

It cones with one black and one tricolor cartridge. Beware these cartridges are very old.The do work, but there is no hp guarantee. If the somehow damage your printer hp will not honor the warranty.

Not sure. I think 1 year but I really am glad I bought the printer. Best for the money in my opinion. Better than Xerox, HP, etc.

I wish I could tell you exactly but I didn't keep track of that. I can tell you, however, that I've gone through a couple of cartridges and I hadn't had the printer that long. None of the printers I've used had long lasting ink cartridges. I had been a loyal Dell user but ink expensive and did not last. My second brand is Canon which is used at our winter home but I just bought a HP-Photo Smart so we'll see how long this ink cartridge lasts.

The Products Shelf life is 2 Years. All our cartridges are newly made and sold within months. So the products you get will have at least a good 1 year and 9 months Shelf life.

These cartridges(amongst most ink cartridges) will have a shelf life of 2 years. We hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you. - Northland Wholesale

The packaging says 2X more than standard cartridge, but that is misleading. It also indicates ~550 pages, which is also misleading. It all depends on your settings - fast copy/best quality/etc. and the actual content of the page (i.e. photos use a lot of ink). I found that using the XL cartridges are a better deal than the just the HP 564 and they don't have to be replaced as often. HP ink is still very expensive and they don't ever last as long as expected. Hope this information helps.

I've had mine for almost three years and with the exception of changing ink cartridges frequently, have only good things to say about this printer. After market cartridges may be cheaper, but they don't last line Cannon cartridges.

Hello Gary. It is a regular toner cartridge. It lasted 7 months; doing both single and duplexing. I usually use a 80X now.
