EPSON XP-700 printer with a photo black ink issue

leveller2911

Hi guys ,
I have an EPSON XP-700 printer which has just alerted me to the fact that the photo black ink cartridge is empty. The printer has a larger ordinary Black ink cartridge in addition to the photo black one. It won't let me continue to print using just the larger black ink and just wants me to buy another photo black.Obviously thye just want my money and keep buying expensive ,small ink cartridges and I don't want to keep playing their game.

I never print photo's and just use the printer for work so does anyone know if I can bypass the photo black cartridge and just print using the colour cartridges with the larger size normal black cartridge which is a new one?..

I need to print off some invoices tomorrow morning and don't have time to go shopping for a new photo black cartridge.

I have tried searching online but no joy so any help would be much appreciated........
