Customer Reviews for HP 962XL Yellow High Yield Ink Cartridge, Prints Up to 1,600 Pages (3JA02AN#140)

Hi Gene, I am sorry that you didn't get more pages. I hope to help you get better usage. ink usage generally determines how long a cartridge lasts. High-density prints (such as images and graphs) will use more ink, especially if the paper is highly absorbent and the surrounding air is dry. Here are some things that might help lower your ink usage: - Consider using XL cartridges. Most people say they are a much better value - Make use of the printer's draft mode whenever possible - Using the black-only setting will save on colored ink usage. - Shut the printer down 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 - Subscribe to Instant Ink, then you only pay by the page, not for the cartridges themselves If the poor performance appears to be due to a defective cartridge, please consider returning it to us.
