HP, the manufacturer, tells the buyer on the package info approximately how many pages each ink cartridge should last. I own 2 printers that use this cartridge and I purchased the 2nd printer specifically because it is the newer model of the 1st printer and it uses the same cartridges. I have been super impressed with the life of these cartridges. My Lexmark I purchased a few years back only printer 500 black copies for the same ink cost with HP's 950XL that prints 2500 black pages. I use the XL version of the cartridge and it is supposed to get 2500 pages on the XL cartridge (and that sounds about right on actual use). So the regular cartridge (which is what comes with the printer) getting about 1800 pages does sound correct. I do recommend purchasing the 950XL cartridge if you do a lot of printing. It runs roughly $35 on Amazon.

Mine did the same thing. I contacted the supplier and they told me how to override it. I did that and it did not help, so they replaced my order. I was quite happy that their customer service was so good. This cartridge lasted a little longer, but I got the low ink message again. I overrode it and it is still going. I don't know if this is a cartridge issue, or just a flaw of this particular printer. Fortunately, I don't do a lot of printing or it would definitley be an issue.

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

how old is your printer? I don't know but my printer is not over two years old i don't have this problem.

I always use the genuine ink. I just think overall things will work out better that way. I have never measured pages per cartridge but it is porobably reasonable. Your printer apparently uses CLI226 and PGI 225. I'm not thrilled with printers which use so many different inks but that seems to be the trend these days. Have a Blessed day!

My experience has been about 20 or more on a charge... but it doesn't need ink so keep putting paper in it and it will keep printing

I wish I could tell you exactly but I didn't keep track of that. I can tell you, however, that I've gone through a couple of cartridges and I hadn't had the printer that long. None of the printers I've used had long lasting ink cartridges. I had been a loyal Dell user but ink expensive and did not last. My second brand is Canon which is used at our winter home but I just bought a HP-Photo Smart so we'll see how long this ink cartridge lasts.

I've been using these cartridges, and have not had any problems, which is no help to you at all. I'm so sorry. It could be a one time manufacturing glitch, which is certainly not reassuring.

I'm sorry I can't answer the question about ink use yet....I've only had this printer a short while--a little over a month. What I do like about this model and my i860 Pixma (which unfortunately bit the dust) is the fact you can purchase separate color cartridges.

I don't recall if I had any issues like that or not. I'm an IT guy/computer nerd anyway so if I did, I fixed it immediately. With that said, I would recommend turning your printer off and then back on. Even try some different things like putting old cartridges in when printer is on and then turn it off, pull cartridges out and replace the new cartridges just before turning the printer back on. Make sure that any tape that may have been on the bottom of the cartridges is also removed. You'd be surprised how many people forget that. One thing to look at also, if the problem persists, is to check the settings on the actual printer and look at the ink level. If the ink level is showing that everything is full, as it should be, then the printer is at least detecting things that far. Hope this little bit will help, if not feel free to post back. If you end up having to post back, let us k ow what you be tried, and the specific issue you're having. This way I, or someone else, can give more accurate advice to further troubleshoot the issue. :)

I've purchased this replacement ink 2 or 3 times and the first time, I had no problems. But this last time, my printer wouldn't print after I'd installed the cartridges. After calling and having Kodak to trouble-shoot it was determined that both my cartridges had no ink. I had to go to Wal-mart and buy again. Hope this answers your question, it's almost a flip of the coin.

I've had this problem a couple of times. I have taken the cartridge out and reinstalled it - sometimes several times. Finally I just ignore it. The printer keeps printing. I've used these cartridges several times and they last quite a while. Good cartridges for the price. Just keep printing until the copy gets faint and then change it out.

I can't give you an amount but I am still using the cartridges that came with my new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 and I do a lot of printing! I have my print setting on Draft and it prints very legible. I bought the XL cartridges because I print so much but I haven't had to use them yet. I was told that the ink that comes with the new printer isn't nearly as full as are in the cartridges that I bought to replace them. I hope this helps.

Think I dragged mine out to about 6 months, maybe longer. It lasted long after the printer started saying it should be replaced. And I pulled it out and shook it near the end and it went a little bit longer. Was very happy with how much printing was done with the starter cartridge!

Hello, I do have 3 printers working good with this non oem cartridges. Do not see a problem, why the printer should get damaged. Unless U use the printer frequently, so that the ink does not dry in the ink head. This also will happen with the original ones. The manufacturers make their monnies through the ink cartridges, not the high end printers sold at cost. Have fun Brgds

I have never counted the copies. I use the printer for home copying and wold describe its usage as moderate. Regardless the cartridges last well over a year.

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.
