can this be used to all the color of the cartridges? not only to one color? ty.

Yes. There is an adapter included for the smaller color ink tanks. The adapter is a piece of plastic that holds the more narrow ink tanks in place.

Yes. You can also use it for all 5 cartridges, even though they are different sizes. Word of warning, the first time you do it will be very messy. You will get better at it though!

I don't know but the printer "decides" that cartridges need to be changed even with little use. We have some of these at our office and they are set to print Black and White only. The printer still forces us to change the color cartridges once in a while.

I don't believe it can. I did not try that specifically. I know it will cycle through colors but I don't believe you can the change them in that way.

You put in 1 black and 3 different color cartridges for a total of 4 cartridges at a time. :)

It won't if you didn't remove the tape and if other cartridges are empty you would have to have color ink in them. That was for xp300 printer

There is a setting to use black ink only but you do not want to take and leave out color cartridges because it will damage your print head.

In all honesty I can't say whether it would work for your cartridge as the cartridge in question is not on the list of cartridges that can be refilled with this product. I would contact the company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't answer that.

probably not. They have software chips in the carts and I don't see them allowing it.If you print black, only the black will be used so nothing lost. you will just have to put another in instead of using two at a time.

As far as I know you can't. You have to replace the ink cartridge. Even if you are out yellow and are trying to print in black and white.

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

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.

We tried that and the cartridges still didn't work. I took it to staples and they said they were no good especially the colored one.

It will depend on the type of medium you are using - Gloss, Luster, Matte, Watercolor, Canvas etc - and on the saturation of your images. All colors will not be used equally. You will run out of some colors before others depending on the colors in your images. I've never tried to count pages per cartridge. You may wish to contact Epson directly if you wish to get an estimate of number of pages per cartridge. Best wishes, Maryllis

I have only bought black ink for mine. Therefore don't know the answer, but don't think it does color, because ink cartridge is one big drum.

Ink cartridges have a tendency to dry out if not used often enough. If you only want to print in black can you leave the tape on the others and use black only

You can set your printer to just print in black and white only, this possibly would cut down on using the color inks.

Yes, it is called "Single Ink Cartridge Mode" I took out my colored ink cartridge to verify this for you.
