Neil Thanks for advice. The DX 6000 is the only one which gives ink usage - 425 sheets for black ink - the other models (and makes) are all silent as far as I can ferret out. No info available about expiry date. Should one go for the only machine for which there are ink usage data published ? And is their new fancy ink available in cheaper cartridges ? Robin
