HP ENVY Photo 6220 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I have a HP Envy Photo 6220 printer. It takes 2 cartridges - one black 303 and one tricolour 303.

 

I hardly print in colour, I mostly print or copy pages in black using the black cartridge. The colour cartridge is very low and normally I would take it out and replace it but they are more expensive than black so is it o.k to print with one black cartridge inside only? 

 

Would it do any harm or do both cartridges really need to be present inside all the time?
