Re: ink consumption of Epson 1200

<x-flowed>This seems reasonable, assuming an A3 size is about twice letter size in area.

I did one Super B (2.5x letter) and about 20 letter size photographs on 
glossy paper, plus about 15 pages of text and drawings on plain paper, 
before mine ran out.  Curious, Bill, how did you determine that one 
particular print used a huge amount of ink?

I hope you aren't replacing the cartridge before it actually stops 
printing.  I was able to get another 3 or 4 prints after the light started 
blinking, and it appears perfectly OK to change cartridges in the middle of 
a print job.
