Customer Reviews for HP 62 Tri-Color Standard Yield Ink Cartridge, Prints Up to 165 Pages (C2P06AN#140)

Hi Jeff, I am sorry to find that you had this problem, but perhaps you are printing a lot of high-density prints. That would make a difference. In that case, I'd recommend switching to Instant Ink then you only pay by the page, not for the cartridges themselves. Here are things that could help: - Make use of the printer's "black only" and draft modes whenever possible - Shut the printer off between uses - Always use the power button on the printer itself to turn it off. That gives it time to ‘park’ so that the cartridges are protected from excessive drying Mary HP Care Hp.com/support

Hi Bob, I am sorry that the cartridge seemed to run out too soon. When your prints are high-density (such as images and graphs), they will use more ink, especially if the paper is very absorbent and the air is dry. Here are some things that might help get the tricolor cartridge to last longer: - Use the printer's draft mode whenever possible, to help stretch out both black and colored ink - When appropriate, you can change the settings to print black only. then areas that would use color will print out in shades of gray - Always use the power button on the printer itself to turn it off. That gives it time to ‘park’ so that the cartridges are protected from excessive drying. - Shutting the printer down between uses will save electricity and a few drops of ink here and there that are used to keep the inkjets cleared and ready for your next print job Also, Instant Ink lets you pay by the page rather than paying for each cartridge.
