At office I am using HP Officejet 4620. This printer is using too much ink. The cartridge end up really fast. We are taking a few color prints. Most of the time it is black and white. I am unable to figure out the problem here. At my home I am having different hp printer. It works for long time. I think within a month the cartridge of HP Officejet 4620 drains out. Is there a point available through which I can reduce the ink usage.
You cannot do anything if you are using a refilled cartridge. Many people refill their cartridge and use them back. This puts impact on the printer head. It fails to give you maximum output. But if you use the original cartridge then the printer functions more properly and give you appropriate output. The printer is also able to print more pages than before. So just buy original cartridge and check again.
When you taking print try to use draft mode. This reduce the ink usage. In your print page there can be thick borders or images that are consuming the ink. You can use only text mode printing. In printer properties itself you can get option to print easily in draft mode. This will reduce the ink usage at great extent. You must also calibrate the printer cartridge. This can be done through the hp printer installation disc.
