PRO 100 Excessive Ink Usage

DaveLamb92

Hi, 

 

I bought a PRO 100 6 months ago from a fellow who got it in a camera package - he only printer 2 8X10's with it. When I got it home the tanks showed about 90% full.

 

Then I ran 9 - 8X10's and several of the tanks dropped to 20% (replaced them).

 

Note: after the above I have left the printer 'ON'

 

Since then I have made 7 - 8X10 and fout tanks ran out.

 

So I have set of 4 coming Monday.

 

Is this typical?

 

My views is: 16 prints and tanks are empty. I can't afford to runs this printer if it consumes this much ink.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Maybe I have some settings wwrong?

That's really something only you can decide. Print two images - one using Standard and one High and see if you can see the difference. 

 

Red River Paper has a discussion about print quality settings.
