PSC 1410 - can I print just black and have empty color cartridge

‎12-28-2009 06:38 AM

Do I need to have a full color cartridge in to be able to print black only.   I have no need to print color and wondered since now my color cartridge is empty, do I still have to buy another one?

Yes you will still need the color cartridge.  The printer uses what is called under printing, it still uses some of the color cartridge's ink in this process, even when printing in just black, the reason is to stop the black from "bleeding"
