HP 60 Black Ink (CC640WN#140)

I have a C4780 Photosmart HP Printer that uses 60 Black and also 60 Tricolor ink cartridges. I print 100's of documents on a weekly basis and I buy a new cartridge about every 3-4 weeks. ( Color about 5-6 weeks unless I am doing High Quality prints for my wife's Job) I usually just buy the combo pack because its cheaper and I know I will need the color one sooner or later anyways. Because of my Wife's job or printing Photos I can always use an extra color cartridge. Anyway back to my Point, I use FAST DRAFT for my everyday documents and I usually get about 200-250 pgs per cartridge. I do know that if I switch to NORMAL I only get about 150 pgs.

wow really this 60 ink is costing me to much money.....the trial ink it came with was awesome and i ran out after 175 plus pages...then i buy more printed maybe 30 pages if that i was in the middle of printing my taxes and ran out i was this cant be its brand new...so i go and i get another one print maybe 20 pages and the indecater is telling me low...really are u kidding me...so i just bought my 3 one last night lets see how this goes...so that 3 cartiages in 2 months and i dont print that often.....had trial ink for over 6 months with around 175 pages guess i shudda just bought new printer...but the printer i have works perfect just the ink is no good

I, too, have purchased HP products. Everytime I replace a computer, I buy HP. I have been so faithful to this company with laptops and printers through the last ten years. However, this is the worst purchase I have ever made. This printer seems to eat ink. I replace the black cartridge weekly. 200 prints...NO WAY. I, too, tried draft, economical printing, and no help. I use this printer for every day printing. I wish I had read the reviews prior to purchasing it. I spend more in ink than I have ever in my life with this printer. Do not purchase any HP requiring this number 60 cartridge.
