Replacing Ink Cartridges 47
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency
of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The product ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the product.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package
and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold
temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before
using them.

Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are

Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink
