How Can I Make My Hp Inkjet3520 Printer Accept A Refilled 564 Cartridge

How many papers can be printed in an HP deskjet cartridge?

A good estimate is that you will print 2,600 pages each six months. Now, take 2,600 and divide it by the number of pages the ink cartridge will print (225). This means you will need to purchase 12 inkjet printer ink cartridges during the six-month period.The issue isn't how much ink you get, but how many pages you can print. Here's an actual example, using the numbers for a single printer's standard and high-capacity cartridges. The standard cartridge holds 11 ml of ink and prints 220 pages. The high-capacity cartridge holds 16 ml, or 1.45 times as much ink.Buy HP 61 black ink cartridge (CH561WN) at Staples. This ink yields up to 190 pages and is compatible with several HP OfficeJet & DeskJet printers.

Does scanning require ink or cartridge?

The reason they sell the low priced All-in-One scanners is that by buying one you become an automatic subscriber to their expensive ink cartridges. I use generic ink cartridges from Amazon that cost pennies, literally, compared to the brand name. They tend to clog up if not used frequently, so I no longer recommend them as an alternative. But if you don't plan on using the printing function, this might be a perfect workaround, because the machine will see that it has ink and work as a scanner. It will not work if it detects it is out of ink. It will beep and alert you to replace any empty ink cartridges before it will continue.

Do inkjet printers use color ink when printing black and white documents? If so, why?

If the print is pure black and white, and the printer has a dedicated black cartridge, it should just use the black ink. I can think of two things that might use more color ink than you might expect:First, every time the inkjet gets ready to print, it will prime and clean the printheads. It does that to ensure they aren't clogged and ink will flow freely as needed. It will do this on all colors, even if you only print black. This uses some ink.Second, if you are printing monochrome gray scale images (say a black and white photo on the page), the printer might use color inks in order to get more shades of gray. Higher end photo printers have black and gray ink so they can print high quality black and white photos without using the color cartridges. They often have light and dark cyan and magenta inks also for smoother color blending.
