[comp.sys.mac.hardware] DeskWriter Cartridge Lifetime

gil@porky.gatech.edu (Gil Neiger) (05/18/91)

My Deskwriter is starting to print very streaky; adequate in places,
with empty streaks in various places on the page.  Priming the printer
doesn't help.  I would say that I've gone through maybe a little over a
ream of paper (600 sides).  Is it normal for the cartidge to run out so
quickly?

Gil,
From my experience, you've done quite well by only using one cartirdge to 
have printed over a ream of paper.  Yes, that is normal.
