When Hp sell you a new printer they only give you starter cartridges with it which hold a very small amount of ink in them Hp 300 black and the Hp 300 colour cartridges. I was using about 3 black and 2 colours cartridge per month and it was costing me a small fortune. I later found out that Hp do a higher yield versions of the 300 bk and 300 colour cartridges which cost only a few pounds more but hold far more ink in them than the starter cartridges which I was using before. What you need is a HP 300XL on the black which hold 12mls of ink rather than the 4mls of ink that is in the 300 starter cartridge and on the colour what you should be using is a HP 300XL which holds 11mls rather than the 4mls which is in the 300 colour starter cartridge. I can even go one better, I now use a company called advantage online who stock the Hp originals plus do a British premium compatible 300 bk and 300 colour cartridges which hold 12mls black and 11mls colour. I have used them a couple of times so far and have been quite impressed. I hope you don’t fall into the Hp trap of selling a very good printer (Deskjet D2560) at a very cheap price and then trying to charge you load of money for starter cartridges which are nearly empty.

Great item, but still a high price to pay for monthly / 6 weekly changes. I wish we were informed of how long they would last before the printer was bought.
