Hi everybody

I've recently bought an MG5340 printer with 425/426 cartrige set.
To be honest, I'm unhappy with the ink consumption of this printer; after just a few pages of printing, the red and blue cartridges are already giving a yellow exclamation mark (!) low-ink warning.

Is this the time to refill the cartrdiges or I should wait for another warning message to pop up?

Thanks in advance, for your input.

Normally when youre using new OEM cartridges regardless of which type or number thats on them,
it is perfectly (100%) safe to wait till you get the out of ink warning (Big X) to change them.

We only recommend to change an OEM cartridge which has been refilled by yourself at the first warning (Yellow triangle)
because you dont gain nor save anything by continuing to use them till therere completely empty..
