You just answered your own question when you added "bad refilled cartriges"
Try buying from another place and see if you notice a difference.
It's not just the printer manufactures that can be nickel and diming gouging
weasles.

BTW,...remember to post who supplied those half filled cartriges so others
can avoid buying there

lately ink cartridges of my HP DeskJet 710 c are empty more and
surprisingly frequently than before - though I don't print more.

is it possible that there's a problem with the printer or may I have
bought bad refilled cartridges?

Regards,

Peter

I just found the - I hope - real reason.

When I print mere black text - what I mainly do - the printer driver by
default choses "color" and apparently mixes black from the color cartridge!

I just selected Black and white and - voila! - received a fine print
from my DeskJet.

Well... I always thought that since 1995 or so HP printers do not mix
black but take from the black cartridge. what else is it good for?

What do you think?

You have had that printer for how long ?
And just suddenly noticing a problem.

I'd still put my money on the cartridges being partially filled.
