HP discontinued the ink needed for my current printer thus forcing me to buy a new printer. The new printer came with ink cartridges but they didn't last long. So thank you for noticing I was buying new ink.
Getting fresh ink in a duo package makes printer maintenance fast and easy. Occasionally purchasing a single cartridge would be a nice option when using a lot of color ink for photos.
The cartridges are too small and do not last long enough.

Hello there George I see you are having difficulties getting the most value out of our cartridges. Let's start with some strategies to improve your results. - Avoid printing text-heavy pages. Usage determines cartridge life. - Take the time to double-check the pages for formatting or spelling mistakes. People reprint a lot wasting ink. - Run printer maintenance on a regular schedule. I hope these methods help you. Amanda HP Care www.hp.com/support/
