[QUOTE="drippytanks, post: 213214, member: 5021"] My latest home office printer is an Epson MFP. Previous models were Canon and HP. I always disabled the low ink warning because expensive cartridges printed page after page until the ink finally ran out. Just a wild guess, but it seems like these low ink messages are set to appear at 80% empty. That means you're wasting very costly ink each time a cartridge is replaced. I just read this warning at Inksaver: [URL]https://www.inksaver.co.za/en/blog/Low-ink-warning.php[/URL] [I][COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR][COLOR=#00b300]WARNING: Epson printheads are very sensitive, so as soon as the printer gives you a ‘Cartridge Empty’ warning, you have to replace the ink cartridge as running Epson cartridges to empty could damage the printhead[/COLOR].[COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR][/I] Maybe I was very lucky, but using Canon and HP cartridges until they ran dry did not effect the longevity of those printers. If that advice from Inksaver is correct, should I junk my Epson cartridges when the low ink warning appears? If the answer is "yes" that means the actual cost of Epson cartridges is much higher than whatever you paid. [/QUOTE]
