How much printing will I get from a typical cartridge?
• "Yield" is the average number of pages you will achieve per cartridge. A page is defined as a usual business letter with around between 5% and 10% coverage depending on the manufacturer measurement.
• Photos, charts, and graphics use considerable more ink than letters
• "High Yield" cartridges have a higher ticket price, but typically last longer and are therefore cheaper per page in the long run
How long can I store cartridges?
• Shelf-life can vary, depending upon storage conditions and each make/manufacturer
• Typically, original, sealed packages last about 12 to 24 months
• Typically, opened packages last about 3 to 6 months
How should I store cartridges?
• In a cupboard.
• Away from direct sunlight.
• Somewhere not subject to temperature extremes.
Is there any harm in running completely dry on Ink?
• Yes. Inkjet print heads can overheat and be ruined, and nozzles can dry, causing actual machine damage
• It's best to replace the cartridge while there's still some ink left
Will my machine warranty be voided if I use generic cartridges?
• No. It is illegal for any manufacturer to require you to use their brand-name cartridge
• You can use any brand and still keep your warranty intact
How can I best recycle the used cartridges?
• Some local home recycle bins accept toner and ink cartridges. Check with your council.
• The best place to drop used toner and ink cartridges in a newsXpress store, Planet Ark or Australia Post outlets. They have dump bins ready to receive used cartridges.
