Does this print photo's in color or just black and white

It scans in color, but I wouldn't use it to scan photos. When I first received it, I tried scanning a business card, and it came all washed out. It scanned the card and left the rest of the image black. It didn't auto correct. One would have photo shop to get exactly the image they desire.

It scans both black and white as well as color documents and photos and does not print. Great little product but would have preferred it to have had an inbuilt paper guide. Requires a bit more attention when scanning to get it right even after calibration. I've since gotten used to it and use it regularly for all of my scanning needs. You might have to use a photo editing software to scan photos, etc. I used Nitro PDF and it worked perfectly.

There is a black and white printing function, but I have not measured the difference between using that function and not using that function. What I can say is I do very little color printing and I replace the black cartridge 2-4 times before replacing any of the color cartridges.

If you do mean can it print with only a black cartridge only, the answer is no. When it prints grayscale it actually uses some colored ink as well. It's annoying because when a color cartridge has a "replace" status you will no longer be able to print in B&W; until you replace that cartridge.

Epson printers use multiple colors, even when printing black and white. If something is out of whack you will see it reflected in print quality. Try cleaning the heads using the print utility. If that doesn't work you may have an out of date print driver. You can download those from Epson's website. A new print driver will give you different options for printing and will change the look of your print dialog box. If you have a photo manipulation program like Photoshop you can adjust your photos before printing to give them more of a sepia tone.

It will print both text and photos. It will go through ink quickly, but the pictures come out very nice. You can print text in greyscale to reserve ink.

This one is black and white. No color. Is meant for people that need a fast laser printer.

If you are specifying "grayscale" or "black & White" in the print command, you have right to expect the printer to print it so. If you leave it to s/w to decide whether you need yellow, it won't.

Yes. It only prints in black. The reason I got this is because if u print in black most of the time u use less ink versus the multi-color printers. Multi-color printer uses all colors even if u are printing in black only, therefor ink runs out quicker and its a bigger expense. Hope this helps.

It is a color picture but only in direct lighting. When used at night or in low light, the picture will be in black and white. At least that's what I've found with mine.

YOU CANNOT PRINT in black and white, you can't clean the heads to see if it actually works WITHOUT ALL COLOR WORKING. Don't buy - it's sucks.

According to Cannon the printer will choose to print photos CMYK mode. That is the best I can do since I am not an expert.

The black and color are separate cartridges so if the color goes empty, you can still print in black, one of the options in the print menu is to print in grayscale if no color ink or if you just want to conserve the color ink.

Yes, I have scanned black and white pictures as well as colored. This is the best wand scanner I have ever had. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

I suppose you are asking about high quality photos on photo paper. I haven't tried this, but suspect you need a much higher quality printer It does print in color. This printer is about as basic as you can get. It's fine for light home use, but not much more.

No color, black and white only (greyscale also) this is a great printer if you are printing lots of pages w/o color, toner last a ling time as it starts to run our take the cartridge out of printer shake it and put back in printer you will get a lot more use out of the cartridge.
