why does my mx410 use so much black ink?

[lmtrzb]

I swear i put in a black ink cartridge and its out after only printing like 6-10 small invoices. This is the third ink cartridge I have had issues with and the last one was a canon cartridge.

Hi lmtrzb,

The amount of pages an ink cartridge will produce will depend on the print quality and type of paper selected, as well as the type of documents being printed.

To conserve the amount of ink being used by the printer, you will want to ensure that the paper type selected in the printer driver is PLAIN PAPER unless you are printing photos, labels or envelopes, and that the print quality is set to either FAST or STANDARD.  If you would like instruction for setting these items in the printer driver, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for assistance.
