expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.

the print heads remain in good condition.
❏ Even for monochrome printing, all the ink colors are used in an operation designed to maintain the printing
and print head quality.
❏ Depending on the paper type and print quality settings, colored inks may also be used for high-density blacks in
monochrome or grayscale printing.
❏ e ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink.
