Printer ink lasted only 50 pages

[Jjtrack]

I purchased a cartridge three weeks ago for $40. I only printed about 50 pages. Is has run out already. Should this happen? It usually lasts longer.

Hi @Jjtrack,

I'd like to help!

I understand that you were able to print only 50 pages using a new cartridge.

Actual yield will vary depending upon the amount of content on the page. Highly "dense" documents, such as the text document, while less dense ones would yield more pages than the standard. Printing that uses primarily one color could cause lower yields for that color, and higher yields for colors not heavily used. The yield you experience will depend upon the content that you print.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
