There are no ink bundles available that include the Gray 226 cartridge. Does this printer NEED the gray ink cartridges to function?

yes. it needs all colors to function. costco fills all colors except the gray for a lot less money than buying new ones.

Not sure on that, but you can buy the individual ones at Staples. My local one stocks them.

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.

Yes, it is for one cartridge only because the grey color does not come in the pack and the printer won't work without the grey cartridge unfortunatly. I even tried to put a black cartridge in to the empty spot but the printer would not work. That's why I paid for one cartridge only. I hope that helps you, Deborah. :-)

It comes with ink.....but one of the units I have purchased used a black cartridge in one week!....not sure if the cartridge was bad but something to keep in mind

it depends how old your printer is. The new printers come with the more common cartridges that are interchangeable. Inside the cartridge well, there should be several different cartridge numbers that are compatible with your printer. Good luck

Check the end of the box for a listing. If you printer is not there the answer is "No" and, believe me, the printer knows. My printer would not use this box of ink and I wish it would. My printer does not use all these colors.

Yes, it includes 'Setup' ink cartridges (this is what the cartridges report they are in the software monitor program). I suspect these don't have the same amount of ink in them that the normal/standard ones have but I have no proof of that.

Lola I purchased the CLI-226 Gray Ink Tank from Amazon. I have not installed in printer yet. The box ink tank comes in states it is for printers MG6120&MG8120.; I also purchased CLI226 BK, C, M &Y; Ink tanks in combo pack with 50 sheets of 4"x 6" photo paper plus glossy for my MG8120. Hope this info helps clarify confusion of compatability.

My Cannon MG6120 printer requires all ink cartridges have ink in them. I guess the gray is used for gray in photos or printing in gray scale. The printer does use up the gray ink, but not as often as the black ink. Cannon can probably answer this question better.

You can't. You must have both black and color cartridges with ink for the printer to work. So if one is empty or missing the printer won't print.

No - they do not. The list of printers that accept the ink cartridges should be on the front page with the descriptions

Rob, the printer won't work without the grey cartridge. I tried to put a black one and it's too smart. :-) Hope that helps. I just got a good deal on grey cartridges three for $10 plus on Amazon. From Sherman Inks and toners. Great buy.

I don't know. If you put in the number of the cartridge in search it should pull up the various printers in which it would work.

Bobby, good question and I'm not sure. However, all the cartridges are really cheap through amazon. I've had this printer for three years and use it constantly. Works great!

Sorry for a delay, it is needed because this printer prints pictures, therefore for the better quality of pictures it uses gray. Hopefully this answers your question.

Yes the printer requires having ALL ink cartridges installed (and none empty) to print, if you run out of a color you cannot print (even in black) until the color cartridge is replaced..

Yes it comes with ink, but when you run out of the black ink (at least for me), seems like the reloaded ink just wont take. I used 3 different black ink cartridges, & even replaced the CMY as well. Not sure what happened. :/
