Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The colored inks run out even though I did not print more than 5 pages of document that has some color in it since I bought it. So I checked the cartridges, took them out one by one. I could hear the ink splashing inside and was also dropping on a paper towel. I put them back and still the printer said no ink left. What the heck? Now I should just throw out those inks and order new one for $50?
