HP Envy 5070 drinks ink like it is in the desert!! I MAY get 20 copies before it runs out.

This printer is about to go  flying out the window!!!  I now budget for replacement cartridges at least every three (3) weeks.  This is after getting MAYBE 30 copies.  Yes, I turn it on and off as needed to copy or scan.

Any suggestions to make ink last longer would be appreciated.  Otherwise, I've used it for the last time!!!!!

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

I'd be happy to help.

Are you using HP genuine inks? Also, what are the type of documents you print?

Let us know 🙂

Thanks!

I use HP products............specifically HP65 which should embarrass the company.  I print things like recipes, etc.  Nothing technical.  I turn the printer off EVERY time I use it so it can't be blamed on leaving the thing on.  I literally buy new cartridges every five weeks. 

Helpful suggestions are welcome.

I appreciate your reply to my HP problem but I have sent the printer to recycle land.  Even getting rid of the darn thing cost me $25 to have it recycled!!

I understand. 

Do get back to us in the future for further assistance.
