[QUOTE="Horsa, post: 1842397, member: 403905"] Interesting. An odd way for a printer to determine ink usage, and one that I find hard to credit, given that such a system couldn't possibly know how much of which colours might have been used to print any given page. Think of the difference in ink usage between a page of black text and a full-colour photograph - an ink monitoring system based on page-count would be pretty much meaningless. My Epson printers (my last machine was an R200) could always show me how much ink was in each colour of cartridge, and it varied from one colour to the next, depending on what I'd been printing. Likewise, I don't recall my cartridges ever running dry on me. Go figure! [/QUOTE]
