The price of these is more expensive than the printer itself with cartridges. What's the difference? How can you tell the yield from the cartridge's #

Hi,Thank you for your interest in this set.What I can tell you for sure is that the new printer come with starter cartridges and they do not print nearly as many as the regular sets of cartridges that are sold separately in sealed retail boxes as shown in our listing.The number of prints these will give you depends on what you print and I will not be able to give you exact count.What is listed in HP sight refers to 5% of a page being printed. If you are printing pictures and other that take more than 5% of the page in print, you would of course get less prints per cartridges.I hope I was able to answer your questions.

Usually, the cartridges that come with a new printer are just test/sample cartridges, so they tend give less output than the "real" cartridges. Upon installation of the printer software, you will be able to track your toner use but if you also go to the HP site, it gives an idea of max output, which for this cartridge is stated as 2,600 pages, but I would say that average is a little less than a full (letter-sized) page of colour.

It seems like they "give" the printers away and then make it up in the cost of the toner. Normally the toner that comes with the printers are only about half full and are just labeled as starter toner.

The printer industry follows the same business model as others like the safety razor industry. They sell the printers more or less at cost and rely on sales of the consumables like toner cartridges. which are priced much higher, to make a profit. The page-yield of the cartridges is based on the number of copies of an industry standard test page the cartridge will produce. The standard page has roughly 5% of its surface covered in ink. Obviously, the page yield you will actually get depends on what you are printing. A page with dense graphics or photographs will draw more toner than just a few lines of text so you will get far fewer pages out of the cartridge.

I'm sorry I don't know a definite answer, but usually the cartridges work far longer than the printer indicates. I wish I could be of more help.

Hello!While I can't speak for everyone, we have had an awesome experience with this refill! We are on our second refill & the printer's performance is fine (as it has been performing we purchased ir). I can't imagine ever buying two ink cartridges for the price of a printer again. Hope this helps. :)

I always use the genuine ink. I just think overall things will work out better that way. I have never measured pages per cartridge but it is porobably reasonable. Your printer apparently uses CLI226 and PGI 225. I'm not thrilled with printers which use so many different inks but that seems to be the trend these days. Have a Blessed day!

Another way to look at it is this way: if you buy the printer for $99.99 and it comes with a full set of new cartridges whose value is $75, the printer itself was in fact worth just $24.99, which is an unbeatable value to me!

I am so sorry... I do not know the answer to that question. I did not know there were differences in inks. However! It seems to me the very first time I printed something out with these cartridges that I bought that the black ink did not seem as dark and clear as ink from Office Max. So maybe this is why. Hope this helps.

yes, cartridges last longer than your regular ink printers that cost $30-$50 per cartridge.

I am not sure, but I have been using these cartridges for a while and we are very pleased with them, the quality of the printing is justas excellent as the higher price cartridge and the cost is a lot less and compare to see we usually buy more than one so we don't pay for the shipping and handling

FX9-10 at inkjetsuperstore works and it's priced around 31.00 US ~ I normally stay away from generic/3rd party toner because of the lack of quality. I ordered a case of these (3), and found the yield to be less than 2000 pages, and I had some blasting and buildup after I had finished using the 3 carts. For large print jobs (450+), I use my old HpLaser Jet , it's cheaper per page.

I can't give you an amount but I am still using the cartridges that came with my new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 and I do a lot of printing! I have my print setting on Draft and it prints very legible. I bought the XL cartridges because I print so much but I haven't had to use them yet. I was told that the ink that comes with the new printer isn't nearly as full as are in the cartridges that I bought to replace them. I hope this helps.

The setup cartridges have a much smaller ink supply but should last a month or so. There are refill ink bottles advertised on ebay but Cartridge World tells me that even though they can be refilled, the printer will not print with them until the cartridge chips are reset and Cartridge World does not yet have the software to reset them. The XL cartridges have 11 ml of ink and I spent almost as much on a set of six as I spent purchasing the printer-around $17 each. Don't know how much ink should be in the standard cartridges. Nice printer though.

I do not know the exact yield, but you won't have to change cartridges as often.

I don't know but I would not buy this printer -- have had 3 -- the first one wasn't that good but ordered another -- lasted 3 months-- the replacement didn't last as long as the second-- bye an Epson -- the cost for ink isn't bad -- single color cartridges keep cost down and they perform well for the $$

Clearly states on package that the XL is equivalent to up to 2.5 times the regular cartridge. I think it's worth the difference. I always buy XL when available. Shop often and you'll find you can catch a deal where 1 XL is cheaper than 2 regulars too! More details than that can be found on back of package. Look in Walmart or something and you can read it. Can't find image of back or side shot on here.

inkjetsuperstore dot com has OEM toner for this for $34+5 shipping - which comes out to 1.95 cents per page. Couldn't find a higher yield cartridge for this model printer. 2k is pretty low.

Usually the yield is around 1,500 per cartridge, once or twice the yield was closer to 1,000 per cartridge. I don't keep strict tract, but I wanted to start keeping closer tabs on it to try and get the best provider. But, it seems I find one company I like and then I can't find them again.

Bobby, good question and I'm not sure. However, all the cartridges are really cheap through amazon. I've had this printer for three years and use it constantly. Works great!
