Hp ink 64 color says should print 165 pages I only get about 20?  I'm changing the ink every week. Very costly.

Hi @Diana1106,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're experiencing significantly lower page yields than expected with your HP ENVY Inspire 7255e All-In-One Printer, there are several factors to consider and steps you can take to improve the situation.

• Check Ink Levels: Make sure you're correctly monitoring your ink levels. Most printers have a software utility or a display screen that can show you the remaining ink levels. This will help you verify whether the printer is indeed running out of ink quickly.
• Print Settings: Review your print settings. High-quality prints and color documents will use more ink than draft or grayscale settings. Ensure that you're using the appropriate settings for your print jobs.
• Page Coverage: The content of your documents can greatly affect page yield. If you're printing documents with a lot of graphics, images, or solid color areas, they will consume more ink. Try to use more efficient print settings for such documents.
• Use Genuine HP Ink Cartridges: Using genuine HP ink cartridges designed for your printer model is essential. Third-party or refilled cartridges may not deliver the same page yield and print quality.
• Printer Maintenance: Regularly clean the printhead and perform maintenance routines as recommended by HP. A clogged printhead can lead to ink wastage.
• Firmware Updates: Ensure your printer has the latest firmware updates installed. Sometimes, firmware updates can improve efficiency and ink usage.
• Print in Eco Mode: If your printer has an eco or draft mode, consider using it for less critical print jobs. This mode typically uses less ink.
• Check for Leaks: Inspect your printer for any signs of ink leakage. A leak can result in excessive ink consumption.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
