PIXMA TS202 How long should a new FINE ink cartridge last?

How long should a new FINE ink cartridge last, how many normal 8 1/2 x 11 pages should a cartridge print, a range is okay (i.e. 40 to 250 pages.)

Hi, PaulTurney! According to industry-standard tests, the PG-243 and CL-244 cartridges included with your PIXMA TS202 can go for approximately 100 letter-sized pages before any of the ink cartridges need to be changed.

You'll find this same chart right HERE.

Hope this helps!

Greetings,

I'd like to add that page yield can be affected by the percentage of ink coverage. Page yields are estimated based on a 5% ink coverage. This is an industry standard. Meaning that if you're printing pages of text between 3% and 5% ink coverage, you're going to get the maximum page yield. If however, you're printing graphics and the percentage of ink coverage is above that, page yield will be substantially reduced.
