This cartridge contains very little ink. I mainly used it for printing small sections of spreadsheets and the occasional document with lots of white space. I'm only using these documents for reference, so I made a printable draft. Less than 100 pages came out of this cartridge. How do I know that less than 100? I bought a new pack of good quality paper when I bought the cartridge and there were about 400 pages left in the pack. I don't mind paying for the print, but HP is ridiculous for the cost per page and the tiny amount they hold. HP says they should print around 300 pages under normal conditions, which is a number I could live with. FYI my printer is about 3 months old and if I could return it just for the cost of printing I would.
