Hi,
À few days ago I bought a new printer and activated the instant ink option. After installing the printer I was only able to print just a page or five with color, then the display told me the color cartridge was empty and on printing the next page it was obvious it was indeed empty. Since I needed to print asap 8 went to the store to buy a color cartridge and replaced the empty one. Now the device is telling me it's not an instant ink cartridge and I got an email with the same explanation. The black cartridge however is still the one delivered with the device. By placing an original, regular cartridge, will I not be receiving any instant color cartridge? I mean, I had to place a regular one because the one that came with the device was empty way too fast if you ask me.
