I bought a Epson Stylus C46 printer about 4 weeks ago. I have printed about 20 pages of text on normal quality and the fricking thing is out of B/W ink already. Is this for f***ing real? Or will it just be a crap quality cartridge because it came free with the printer?

But the printer broke about 11 months ago, so it's not really surprising.

I think Exy is correct. I own two printers at home (1 bubble jet, 1 ink jet), and the initial cartridges did not last very long, the replacements lasted much longer. And I'm finding even when my office gets a new printer, the same thing happens (this seems to be true of color deskjet, inkjet and bubblejet printers, I can't speak for laser printers. I only use laser printers at the office, and I've never noticed whether the initial cartridge starts out with less toner).

Originally posted by ExyI think Exy is correct, but there are other things you might want to check. Each and every program has a setting for hw bold the text is. If your setting is set for enhanced mode then your printer might be hitting the same image twice. You didn't say if you were printing text or pictures, but I'd bet you printed some pics out in enhanced mode. One other thing... you don't want to print a black background in a picture with an inkjet printer w/o realizing how much ink it's going to take. 🙁
