I have had inkjet printers and laser printers and other kinds too.  But this is the first time I have had a printer that sports an ink cartridge that actually warns me in advance when it is getting low in ink!  The  software connected with the printer and ink cartridge will give you a  message on your screen that your ink level is low, and even shows you a  graphic picture of approximately how low it is, and tells you what will  happen when the ink totally runs out (that is, it will stop printing  altogether -- unlike other printers that continue to spit out blank pages).  The print quality is great, and the cartridge seems to last a good long  time.  It is easy to replace and install. Who could ask for more?
