quick question about printer ink???

toaster2

My black has run out, yet the colour is 3/4 full. I want to prink pure black text- should i be able to still print in black (from the colour cartridge?)

My printer is elsewhere at the moment, otherwise i would of tried

CIS

It wouldn't print black, but it would give as good an approximation as possible through mixing the colours from the colour cartridge.

Dark blue would be the closest but the colour cartidge only does colour
or there would be no need of a Black cartidge.

Cheers peeps.

Mr Skint i thought that too, what with black not being a colour and all that. Then i thought white isnt a colour either, but i bet white could be printed onto coloured paper

Its kinda like this, Black isnt a colour as it reflects no light
whilst white is a colour as it does reflect light.

Well thats the bull they fed me at Car Refinishing college. :rotfl:
