I don't know about your specific cart series. Others will. What I do
know is that I followed another thread in another group where
Wallgreens was apparently putting about 9-10g of ink in a #45 HP cart
that was designed to hold 42 g. He wondered why it was printing so few
copies. So whatever you do, be sure to measure the output to see if
you really save anything. I weigh my carts on a scale accurate to 1/10
of a gram.
