96 copies

An HP number 57 ink cartridge will print 96 full-colour pages on Normal quality with the lowest ink density before the colour starts to screw up. It gave a low ink warning after 70, so I slowed down and started printing smaller batches for the last 26.

I feel bad running through an entire ink cartridge in an afternoon, but it produced 96 flyers for Barrel, so it's for a good cause.

According to the cartridge I took out, the 57 has 17 mL of ink in it. The cartridge looks like it should hold a lot more, so I have no idea what the rest of the space is taken up by. Possibly electronic wizardry and thick plastic, or maybe there's a society of ink gnomes living in them. I may never know.
