Fullness

A full cartridge has a volume of ink in it. The volume is measured in milliliters (ML) which is the same thing as cubic centimeters (CC). As a conversion, 5 ML = 1 Teaspoon. The cartridge here has 19 ML in it from the factory. That works out to almost 4 teaspoons of ink.

Unfortunately, those 4 teaspoons of ink are divided between three colors. So, you get 1.3 teaspoons of each color. If you are thinking this is not very much, you are correct. Remember this when you are deciding to print a picture of a green lawn scape. It will use your blue and yellow (blue + yellow make green) ink in great volumes.

Ink jet ink is water based. For this reason it weighs 1 gram per ML. this is convenient for us at IQcartridge becase we weigh cartridges to determine how much ink is in them and there is a direct relationship between volume and weight (1 to 1 grams/,ml). Because every cartridge is weighed before goes to you, each cartridge is certified full (or fuller than full) at packaging.

When you recieve an IQcartridge it will have been filled to or above the manufacturers labeled specified volume and in many cases is fill to a much higher specification. this is because many cartridges are not filled as full as they can be from the factory. Sometimes this is for shipping issues and sometimes it is for marketing reasons.
