PC World confirms what most of us have always known...that those warnings from the printer software that we are 'OUT of INK' are usually bogus...that we may in fact have anywhere from 8-45% of the usable ink in a cartridge left over. It ain't right...it ain't fair, but those dudes who make 'em are in charge. Hey, some printers won't even let you go on till you buy and replace a new cartridge...Extortion! And it doesn't matter that you buy refillables....same problem.

What's a body to do? Well, for one, don't 'change over' just because they say you're low on ink...wait till your print quality suffers.
Beyond that everything you might to is too much of a hassle. Yeah, I know...you'd hoped there was an INK magic wand....sorry. The good news is that newer printers have become somewhat better at ink utilization...but with printer manufacturers making ALL their money on ink, we consumers are sort of down the ole ink well.
