Ink cartridge drying out

[sstevens]

My canon x490 ink cartridge keeps running low of ink within a weeks time. What is causing this and what can I do, I'd hate to have to buy a different printer but I can't afford to buy ink every week. It use to last at least a month.

Hi sstevens,

In order to better assist you, allow me to ask a couple questions:

• Which of the inks is running out, color or black?
• What model inks are being used?
• What is written on the ink cartridge label, from top to bottom?

I look forward to your reply.
