One or both ink cartridges are empty or too old. A cartridge is too old if it has been used longer than six months or beyond the date on its packaging. First clean the print heads as described in Chapter 5. If this does not solve the problem, replace the ink cartridges.
Ink cartridges do not last as long as expected.The ink cartridge life varies, based on the amount of ink used in printing and how often you clean the print heads. If you often print pages with large graphics and dense text with little white space, you will use up cartridges faster than if you print pages with lots of white space.
