Customer Reviews for HP 61 Black High Yield and Tri-Color Standard Yield Ink Cartridge, 2/Pack (CZ138FN#140)

Hello Bryant The stated amount is an average. I am sorry you were disappointed with the number of pages. The pages are increased if you avoid designs thick paper and hot temperatures. Do maintenance if you print multiple pages at a time. This prevents clogs and dry cartridges. If you double-check all of the pages before printing you will save a lot of ink. We often do not notice the number of scrap pages we throw out. Amanda HP Care www.hp.com/support/

Hi Edgar I empathize with your feelings about the product. Ink is a valuable commodity and doesn't come cheaply. It is even more crucial to stretch out each cartridge. Here are some tips to help: 1. Use XL cartridges and look for combination packs. 2. Count pages and use draft mode. 3. Shut down the printer. 4. Do automatic and manual printer maintenance. 5. Watch the content of the page. If you pay attention to all of these factors ink cartridges will become better value. Amanda HP Care www.hp.com/support/
