What model is it?
I have the HP 7660 and it has space for two cartridges but it actually can use a combination of 4 cartridges. Black and white, greyscale photo , color and photo. I normally just have mine loaded with teh color and photo but i swap in the black and white if i am doing a lot of text printing or the greyscale if I am printing a black and white photo.
I find it perfectly economical. Just ignore it when it tells you on ethe screen your ink is low. I printed 10 more photos borderless ant 8.5 x11 before it actually started to run dry which you can tell by the colors running dry. I have printed probbaly 50 8x8 scrapbook pages on high gloss paper as well as around the same number of pictures a mixture of 6x4 and borderless 8.5 x 11 and miscellaneous amounts of text before having to change my cartridges yesterday n fact lol. So it lasted me close to 6 months.
High gloss paper uses less ink than printing on matte or normal paper btw.
