Well this could be true or it could be like my inkjet. I put in cartridges in my inkjet and inevitably it will say I go through ink like crazy! I mean I print 50-100 pages and it's down to less than a quarter of a cartridge for both cartridges on my printer status window. However, in my case, it lies. I can get down to less than a quarter and print 3-5 times the amount I printed in the first 3/4 of the cartridges. Frankly I don't think the software accurately measures the amount of ink in the cartridges. This COULD be your case as well. If not you may want to look into refilled cartridges online. I used to get a lot of mine that way to save money and a lot of them have a good variety of epson, brother, lexmark, etc printer cartridges to chose from. Unfortunately for me, I haven't really found a good place for my hp cartridges that really gives me much of a discount.
