Customer Reviews for HP 65 Tri-Color Standard Yield Ink Cartridge, Prints Up to 100 Pages (N9K01AN#140)

Hello Mel, I am sorry that you are out of ink already. That sounds disappointing. Many people think that the XL version of the cartridges is a much better value. Ink usage determines how long a cartridge lasts (unless it was damaged or defective). High-density prints (such as images and graphs) will use more ink, especially if the paper is highly absorbent and the air is dry. Here are some things that might help lower your ink usage: - Black is used a lot in almost every printout. Make use of the printer's draft mode whenever possible, to help stretch out black and colored ink - Using the black-only setting will save on colored ink usage. - Shut the printer down between uses; however, 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. - Consider getting Instant Ink. The subscription plans let you pay by the page.
