CAUTION Print cartridge storage Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Print cartridge life expectancy The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require. An HP color print cartridge lasts an average of 8,000 pages and an HP black print cartridge lasts an average of 9,000 pages when printing on letter or A4-size paper at 5 percent coverage for each print cartridge.
