Inkjet Print Cartridge Page Yields & Capacity All you need to know about the Page Yield of your Inkjet Printer cartridge and how much Ink there is in it.

Ink Capacity - How much Ink?
Most manufacturers will list the amount of Ink inside the cartridge, the amounts vary dramatically from 9ml to 42ml depending upon which printer / cartridges you purchase.

Some Inkjet Printer manufacturers offer the same cartridge with different amounts of ink in, these are called High Yield cartridges and can contain twice as much ink as the standard or moderate use cartridges.

There are many factors that control how many pages your cartridge will print:

• Capacity of the cartridge - not all cartridges are the same.
• Amount of page covered with Ink
• Resolution and type of media used.
• The physical size of the cartridge does not mean that it is "full" of ink!

Example: A Lexmark 12A1980 cartridge prints 275 pages @5% coverage. That's only 14 pages of FULL 100% A4 colour prints, and if you use one colour more than others then it may not last that long! Which sounds best 275 pages or 14!

Where provided by the manufacturer we supply approx page yields for the cartridges we sell. Check carefully which cartridge you are buying as manufacturers don't make it as easy as they could do in determining which cartridge contains what ink capacity.
