Note:
not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality
and could result in printer damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings,
paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a
variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace
cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for priming
the printer.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of
opening the package.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside from
out in the cold, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at
least 3 hours before using them.
