I don't print color pick so can I use 2 black ink cartridges ?

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.

No you cannot, one will not fit into another that it's not designed for, and also the electronic chips have different contacts arrangements, that way the color can receive the proper amount or intensity of color inks or black ink.

I have no idea, but with my technologically challenged knowledge, I'd guess the answer is "NO." Sorry.

The best way I have done this is keep an empty cartridge in the color slot and a full black in the black slot.. Since it wont work with an empty slot. Black on Black may cause problems.

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.

You need all the color cartridges installed to be able to print in black and white. Also they have to have ink in them. If any of the color cartridges is out you won't be able to print.

No, not all at the same time, but you need to have all operative. It is to say, if you don't have red and you want to print only in black or grayscale you won't be able. The HP machine has some stupid function that won't allow you. I mean, that will happen to this printers with all kind of cartridges not only with these ones.

Rena is wrong. It will print "Black" using the Color Cartridges in a" run out situation". You can replace individual cartridges . It is not necessary to replace them all at a time. Replace as they run out.

you can but If you are out of color, it won't let you print until you replace the cartridge...even if you switch it to black only.

I have now used 1 full black and started a 2nd and it all comes out as true black. If someone is having that problem it's most likely because they have their printer set wrong. If you try to print in black but the cartridge is empty or not installed correctly the printer tries to make the black using the color ink.

Check your cartridge holder. If your black one is larger than your colored cartridges you should be okay. There should have been a little color card that came with your printer that states the cartridge to use, ex: hp564/564XL

I don't think you can get it to print unless both cartridges have ink. I keep extra black & color cartridges on hand that way, I can still print. I print more invoices than anything else so I go through more black ink. Sorry I can't give you more help.

Yes. The printer comes with black + colors. If you use only black, it will be happy. If you use up the colors, leave the empty color cartridges in place. It will nag you to replace the empty ones but you can ignore that. There are super-size black cartridges available and I suggest you use them for lower cost. I have 2 of these printers used mostly for scanning and printing 11x17 engineering drawings and have no complaints after about 2 years.

Beverly~ That I am aware of...you can't. Been there, tried just about everything to get it to work, and nothing. From my experience, you HAVE to have cartridges (color and black) that are at least partially full for either one to work. Pretty crummy, and just another reason I couldn't recommend this printer to anyone. :(

You cannot print further. I've tried to print just black but the printer will not allow the setup just black and white. Beware of using aftermarket ink cartridge as the printer is picky. If you must use aftermarket brand to save money, use LD brand ( ldproducts (dot) com).

If you try an run the printer without some ink in the color ink cartridges the printer will shut down until you get color ink cartridges. Besides you would ruin your ability to print in color because it would dry out your print head. I would not recommend not having some ink in my color cartridgesIt doe have a larger black ink cartridge just for black text printing.

You cannot they make them that way. You need both color and black ink even if you print just black.

As long as your black ink cartridge has ink, you should be able to print with it. Usually the black runs out before the color though.
