Digital BW, The Print

But are the cartridges then bone dry Bob, or still have 30% left in them, as 
has been suggested in earlier posts?

Not sure what printer you are using, but my Epson R2400 gives me much more
useful info than you suggest.

The first warning that I will need a new cart comes when the ink is down to
20% in a cart, and the last when it is down to 5% (and it tells me those
percentages), and when it gets to 0% it stops and requests me to change the
cart.

In between, it gives me messages like the current one, saying that I can
print about 25 more pages like the last one before I need a new cart.

All in all, very helpful reminders.
