SG3110DN woes

[galerion]

So I checked my ink levels and saw that my blue ink was really low ordered a cart while ordering other stuff, magenta looked like it would be the next cart to go after the blue but had 10% more than the blue so thought no rush.
Well then the printer came out with a out of ink message and I thought no worries that will be the blue but no turns out it was the magenta, went and ordered a new magenta cart.
Magenta got here put it in, opened the printer in my web browsers to watch the ink levels (expecting it to ask for the blue). Magenta level dropped down from 100 to 80%, blue stayed at 1%, yellow dropped from 35% to 19% and went undetectable...
God damn it now I have had to order another yellow cart, so frustrating.

order by the set, cheaper, and you know you have a full set.
the 1st carts always empty faster as they only start half full!

Better still, use refillable carts and bottles of much cheaper, yet comparable quality, third-party inks.

Cost isn't what's frustrating me, just the fact that the readings for the ink levels are so unreliable. To go from a reading of 35% to out of ink without printing anything while another cart stays at 1% the entire time, seems illogical.
