@Tau_56seef, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

To decrease grain, some black areas might be printed with a mix of black and color inks. If you follow the steps in this document to print with black ink only, no color ink is used in printouts.

Some ink from all the ink cartridges is used in periodic servicing tasks. This helps to prevent issues like printhead clogs and poor print quality.

 

Change print settings to print in grayscale

Perform step 2 mentioned in this document.

 

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3835 All-in-One Printer supports printing in Single-cartridge mode where you can remove the tri-color ink cartridge and print only in Black or vice versa.

 

Let me know how this goes.

You do not have an option to change this on the printer. You will have to make the changes on the PC as mentioned in my previous post.

You can print using only one ink cartridge. Remove the tri-color ink cartridge from the printer and try printing in black.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
