What is high yield ink for a color printer? What is it used for versus regular ink?

What is high yield ink for a color printer for? I have the option to buy it, but does it offer more ink for the money-- meaning good for a small business. Or does it mean better quality?

1. think about SUPER SIZE your value meal. it comes w more ink so cartridge last long
2. Higher yield cartridges contain more ink than normal size cartridges. However, not all printers have the high yield ink option. Normally, office or home-office printers will give you the option to buy a higher-yield cartridge. Here's an example of how it works. The HP 6980 deskjet printer takes a 7ml color cartridge that costs $25. Also available for this printer is a 14ml color cartridge that costs $35. Buying the 14ml cartridge for $35 is much cheaper than buying two 7ml cartridges for $25, thus in the long run saving money. Those who do not do a lot of color printing would stick with the lower yield cartridge, but those who do a lot of color printing would save money by spending $10 more on the double-sized cartridge.
