HP Envy Cartridge runs out too fast!

Question

Dear HP, I have had my HP Envy for 18 months and am growing frustrated of the ink cartridges running out of ink too quickly.  I purchased a brand new 61 black ink cartridge just last week and only printed 2 Word documents, 5 school forms (1 page each) and about 25 pages of coupons, and today the black ink ran out....after just one week and about 32 pages!  It's not worth $20 for j ust 32 pages...that's almost $1.00 per page!  I have an old HP Deskjet that only cost me $29.99 and the $15 cartridges last at least 3 times longer.  I'm tired of wasting my money on ink and feel very cheated. Regards, Laura Hamann

Hi @Villaverde 
I would like to help you with your concerns about your ink usage. The regular size colored cartridge have a page yield expectancy of 165 page, and the XL one have a 330 page yield.
Actual yield will vary depending upon the amount of content on the page.Highly "dense" documents, such as the text document below, may yield fewer pages than the ISO standard, while less dense ones such as the organization chart below would yield more pages than the standard.Printing that uses primarily one color could cause lower yields for that color, and higher yields for colors not heavily used.The yield you experience will depend upon the content that you print.
The five standard ISO pages
High density text
Org Chart
The information above and more can be found here: How HP measures inkjet page yields.
If you are still concerned that you are not getting an adiquite page yield from your cartridges, I suggest calling HP. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.
