When Should You Replace the Ink Supplies?

When to change the ink supplies is mostly determined by you with guidance from the front panel. In conjunction with the messages displayed in the front panel and the message explanations in this chapter, you will be able to choose for yourself when is the right time to change the ink supplies.
The Printer will also display the ink level and will tell you when the ink supply is low on ink. This means you have constantly updated information about the ink supplies.
Printhead life is anticipated to be 1000ml or twelve months in the printer, whichever occurs first, provided that the printhead is used under normal operating conditions (using HP Ink Cartridges only) and its "install before date" has not lapsed. However results vary depending on the print quality setting being used.
