Note:
The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high-quality prints, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.
Actual ink consumption may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the frequency of your printings and environmental conditions such as temperature.
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge.
Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed.
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not effect product function or performance.
Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
