On Saturday I have my first Photo shooting assignment for a shop here. They are doing a special promotion for pre and primary school kids to promote their stuff, & I am photographing about 150 kids. The shop has bought a HP photosmart 7760, where I can plug the memory card directly into the printer to print whilst continuing on the other card. I will be printing 10 x 15 prints for between 150 & 200 photos.
How many cartridges will I need? The Printer uses HP 57 & 58 Cartridges. Will 2 sets be enough? |

I don't know about the hP, but that size print on my large-format epson would produce about 15-18 per color cartridge and about 24-30 per B/W cartridge. Depends on the relative proportions of color to black, of course. If you have a monochromatic backdrop, it may deplete that color reservoir faster.
Different papers take more or less ink also.
HP website should have this information.

By the way, that is CM not inches. I think it is a 4 x 6 in inches |

Oh thank goodness. I wondered what the heck was going on there LOL. I'd think 3 cartridges would be ample then.

That makes more sense. The 7760 max size is 8.5 x 11 inches. I have been using an HP DeskJet (photosmart) 1220C for several years. I routinely print 4 x 6 up to 13 x 19 inches and the cartridges seem to last forever. Like the 7760, the 1220C uses two separate cartridges. One tri-color and one black. Two sets of cartridges should do the job. |
