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.
