I had this experience with my old HP 820 but my new Lexmark Z52 came with
full standard cartridges. I bought my Lexmark 10 months ago, and I only
print 5 to 15 pages per week, but I am still using the original Lexmark
cartridges, although I have been getting " color ink is low " messages for
a month.
