Hello Lorraine I’m really sorry to know that your cartridge’s yield was not as much as you had expected. Please let me help you to understand what happened exactly and also how to improve the number of pages available to print. Please considers these tips to improve the yield of your cartridge: - High density prints (such as photos for example) usually use more ink than low-density prints (such as text for example) especially if the type of paper absorbs more or if the environment is particularly dry. - Using the “draft mode” option when printing can help save ink. - Turn off the printer at intervals when it is not being used it helps prevent the cartridges from drying out. -You could consider accessing the Instant Ink service which sends you new cartridges when you need them with flexible monthly plans for your needs. You can find our official Instant Ink site by searching the web using the keywords “HP Instant Ink.” Denise HP Care hp.com/support
