Yes! The HP 60 Black Ink Cartridge will provide color free prints. It is for black print. The Tri-color cartridge is for color prints.

if you tell your printer to print in black and white the black cartrdge is all it will use

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.

Usually done in your computer. Go to printing preferences from the printers and faxes page and choose advanced. There is usually a way to enable or disable the black or grayscale only printing option. I no longer have this printer so cannot unfortunately, go to the unit to check what I did.

You can select to print in b/w only or color therefore using the color cartridges less frequently. Comes with a set of color cartridges.

Yes, you can, but I strongly advise that you don't purchase this printer. It requires you to constantly change the black and color cartridges (even if you never print color), making it the most costly printer I have ever owned.

I think most HP deskjet printers work on one cartridge . Just pull out color and turn on it well tell you it's in single cartridge mode .

The printer use a 61 color and 61 black. You can also use the high yield versions which is 61xl black and color.

Yes. But when you run out of color inks you cannot print just black. You have to replace color cartridges even if you don't use them in order to print black. I gave up that nonsense and I bought an only black printer. I go to Kinko's when I occasionally need color prints. Good luck and happy new year.

Jodi, the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw will still be able to print in black and white even if one of the color cartridges is empty. In order to do this, you would need to adjust the driver settings.

61 is a tri color cartridge. The 60 cartridge is black only. I assume the 60 would fit, but you will not be able to print color with it.

I'm really not sure? I have seen answers that you can use a black cartridge in place of the grey space but don't know this answer?

No, the cartridges are separate. For many inkjet printers there's a cartridge for black and a cartridge for color. For others (like this printer), there's a cartridge for black and separate cartridges for different colors.

There's no option to use basic colors. You can print color or your can print grayscale, but you can't limit color printing to certain cartridges.

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.

According to the print cartridges that came with the printer, you need HP 61 black and 61 tricolor. I recommend getting the 61XL if you do a lot of printing.

yes, you can do this but of course the print quality will not be as good and some of it may be difficult to read. It would be better to have the black cartridge rather than the color one because then you could print everything. The color would appear as "grayscale."

this printer does not use color cartridges to print B&W--; at least not by default. If you are low or out of B&W; ink the printer will ask you if you want to use the color cartridges to create black. This was a major selling point for me because I used to hate how HP printers required color to print B&W.;
