Q: I don't know why is the status is that because I don't usually print something and i was so surprise that the status is saying "ink is running low" for both colored and black. I'm sure it is not the true status how can i know what's the true status of my ink level?
A: Some manufacturers are putting expiration chips in the cartridges so even if you don't use the ink it will show as empty and needs to be replaced. Don't bother with refilling or buying refilled cartridges anymore... I purchased a continuous ink system instead buying individual refilled ink cartridges....it is equal to 61 cartridges of each color so the need to refill it is alot less often. They are easy to install and not messy at all...it took me about 5 minutes to get mine completely installed and when I need to refill it the tanks are outside of my printer so there is no need to remove the cartridges. The cartridges are also set with non-expiring chips so there is no need to reset the printer. I am very please with the quality of the ink also. THE QUALITY IS AS GOOD OR EVEN BETTER than the HP ink cartridges. I still print photos and art...I even print more than usual because the refill ink so affordable. It has saved me a fortune. It has not damaged or harmed my printer at all. The best place I found that has all printer models and I bought mine here http://www.printer-ink-cartridge-refills.com Printer Ink Cartridge Refills and Continuous Ink Systems Good Luck and Happy Printing :-)
