Re: HP 59 grey cartridge ink usage

2004-04-10 by Mark Hahn

that is just a rough estimate of what you have in the carts.  I get 
atleast 35% more prints from my 7660 after it says I'm empty.  Really 
it serve no purpose other than to warn you that you should probably 
buy a new cart... of course they stock them at Target so it's not 
like you have to plan your purchases like you do with a 2200 in most 
smaller cities (ie. mail order only).
