I have printed more 100 sheets including copying in black colour and 20 docs is colour
and 2 Photos on 4"X6" glossy paper

The black ink got spent when i tried to copy a photo into black and white on normal paper
about 80% ofcolour ink still is available but black is running low

Print speed was not comparable to laser printer but I am satified with the printing speed 1st  print comes out in about 20 seconds



Its ink is refillable, i still have to get the refill will update d price later

100 sheets and still going strong! wow thats awesome dude! My HP cartridges gave up in less than 100....how much do these cartridges cost?


Printer looks great bro. Good job. Rep++

thats what the company has put up
still dunno exact prices!!!

this is what my ink status shows


but still i can print like before no change in colour intensity!!!!

Use a app caller InkSaver ,

what does it do??

 ??? " INK SAVER !! "

Nice Nice AIO

Ive been using this HP4488 AIO and when use refilled cartridges giving same quality at 1/10th the price
But HP does give warning messages like that if the cartridge is very old (1-2years), they must have some built in cartridge timer that triggers this message

They are doing this so that we dont use refilled cartridges

Hehe...same prob here, ran out of black. When I tried to get it refilled, the software rejected it and asked me to replace the cartridge on my HP..

To fix that error

Dont run HP solution center, Just adjust and give print command directly from the document
