Since I got 940c about 3 years ago, I'm on my third 78. THe first one
that came originally lasted (IIRC) 6 refills before I had to buy a new
one. The second one was a little dissapointing at 3 and my current
cart is running off refill #4 and still looking good.
940c does not use 45 but it uses 15 which is virtually identical to 45
except for resolution. I've gotten one to last 11 refills and it was
rattling loudly when I dropped it off to be recycled. (free ream of
paper from Office Depot from used ink cart and toner)
YMMV, depends on how often you use the printer, the quality of ink
used, if it was refilled before it goes empty or not, and if you do
anything to clean the head in between refills. Letting printer run
while it's out of ink can cause stubborn clog and eventually burn the
nozzles out so refilling it before it goes empty helps a lot.

But when a cart arrives at the end what type of "collateral FX" you see?

My photo prints looked blurred when my 78 was taken 1 refill too far (5).
On the other hand the more recent 57 cartridge just went off-colour, greys
went quite green, but the resolution was still OK, but that was after about
12 refills before it got bad, not sure when it first started but I'm fairly
sure there were no discolourations at 9 or 10 refills.

Usually 4, max 5. What worked for me was to refill before it went empty.
However, HP are history as far as I am concerned.

Usually streaks or missing ink that won't clear up even with repeated
cleaning. If the printout starts looking bad well before the expected
refill time, it's usually a sign the cart needs to be replced not
refilled.
