Customer Reviews for HP 62XL Black High Yield Ink Cartridge, Prints Up to 600 Pages (C2P05AN#140)

Hi Rebecca, I am sorry that you got a cartridge that don't seem to last as long as expected. The advertised estimates of pages are based on a standard set of prints used by the industry. How each individual cartridge will perform for you is determined by your own usage and environmental factors. Normally, ink usage determines how long a cartridge lasts. High-density prints (such as images and graphs) will use more ink, especially if the paper is very absorbent and the air is dry. Here are some things that might help lower your costs: - Make use of the printer's draft mode whenever possible, to help stretch out both black and the colored ink - 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. - Instant Ink lets you pay by the page. Check out the details at the HP Instant Ink site.
