How much ink does it take to print black and white documents?

Well...an ink container lasts me about six months, but I don't print that much. I think you could google this and find out how many one-page documents one container can print.

As long as you have black ink, you can make black and white copies. The color cartridge is only needed for color copies. Also, if you don't have a color cartridge and try to print a color copy, it will just come out black and white.

That would be hard to say, I guess it would depend on what you are printing. I may use more black when printing certain documents, but if I want to copy photos, I may use more color. So, I guess the answer would depend on your use of the printer.

The manufacturer says 1500 sheets, but it depends so much on how much print there is per sheet, and if you have Toner Saver turned on. I can print about 1/4 to 1/2 case of paper per cartridge (4 or 5 reams), which is more than they specify. But most of my printing is forms, which have white spaces for answers. If you are printing your latest book, figure about 2 reams, or maybe 3. Graphics would be less unless they are line drawings.

Cheryl,Not sure, just bought the printer. I print in Black and White and use color only when I need to. They offer an "XL" ink cartridge for each color which offers additional ink over the standard cartridge thus lasts longer, but at a higher price.

I can't give you an amount but I am still using the cartridges that came with my new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 and I do a lot of printing! I have my print setting on Draft and it prints very legible. I bought the XL cartridges because I print so much but I haven't had to use them yet. I was told that the ink that comes with the new printer isn't nearly as full as are in the cartridges that I bought to replace them. I hope this helps.

For normal printing jobs we get approx. 400 pgs. This is less than a new packet will get but for the price difference this one is great.

I don't know how much it costs, but if printing large format photo's like 13x19... after approx. 4 prints or so, you start to loose ink in cartridges. So for 4x6, you can print more, but once a single cartridge dry out, you have to spend 15.00 bucks for 1. It also depends on deep dark colors in photo's that will lessen ink.

No, it doesn't. According to tech support it mixes color in with the black to get a "richer" black. So even if you only print black and white, you are still going to have to buy color cartridges to have it run.

You should be able to choose black and white from the print options on your computer (the same place you choose how many copies you need, etc). You can do the same for color.

This is not exactly true. I own the printer (CLP 325W). The original cartridges are rated 700 for color and 1000 black/white. The replacement cartridges are rated 1000 and 1500. I am already upto 458 and 661 pages for color and B/W. The usage shows 15% remaining for B/W and from 17% to 39% for the individual colors, so your mileage may vary.

Compared to other printers I have used, it is economical on ink. You can switch to a "black only" option to save on color use during black-and-white printing. The cartridges are inexpensive on eBay.

It will depend on the size of the pictures that you are printing. I printed at least 30-40 full color prints, but they ranged in size from 3x3 to 8x10. This is by far the best edible ink cartridge set I have ever owned as far as the sharpness and depth of color.

According to the HP website, the 564 color cartridges will print 300 pages each. The 564XL color cartridges will print 750 pages. The 564 Black will print 250 pages, while the 564XL Black will print 550 standard pages. HP used to print the amount of ink in each cartridge on the packaging, but quit that some time ago. Hope this helps!

I don't know if it will print in black and white if the color cartridge is empty as I just got the printer and haven't emptied the cartridges yet. I assume it will continue to do black and white if you leave the empty cartridges in.

approximately 385 pages. I usually print in black and white so I buy the double black cartridge. When I do print in color it does come out beautifully.

Absolutely. You just choose color on the printer options before sending it off to be printed. All color printers can print in black and white. You just need to see if they print black and white separately. Some printers will mix all colors to make black and white printouts, others have a dedicated black and white cartridge or drum. It is more ideal to have a separate unit for black and white as mixing the colors to make black and white eats the levels of ink or toner very quickly. I hope that makes sense.- Damon
