Have you ever wondered how much ink you really get for your money, each time you by a cartridge for your printer? Why does the cartridge run out so quickly? Well if you thought you were getting as much as the inner volume of the cartridge, you would probably be quite far off the mark.
I had a few unopened printer cartridges lying around without a compatible printer, so I decided to open them up to see what was inside. I was quite amazed to find how little of the volume was actually filled with ink.
Take a look. I have only opened Epson cartridges. I'm not sure whether the other inkjet manufacturers would be much different.
