Product: HP ENVY Photo 7155 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My ink cartridges consistently dry out after printing just a handful of pages - like 10-20 max. This is true of black and white and of color cartridges. Here are things we've tried that aren't working.

 

- I make sure and shut my printer down when I'm not using it, but that isn't solving the problem.

- I've tried taking out the cartridges and soaking them when they get dry, as people have suggested online, but it doesn't have long-term benefits.

- I've tried taking the cartridges out between  uses and covering them in cellophane/saranwrap, but they still dried out.

- We print a test page once a week to ensure it's getting regular use. 

 

What can I do to extend the life of my cartridges? This cost isn't sustainable. 

 

Thanks, Lisa
