How do I get it to print in white or red ink? This is a new machine for me.

You have to buy the color tape you want. There is no way to change it on the machine itself.

The "ink" options are limited to the type of label cartridge you purchase. The most common purchased is black type onto white label. I have also seen gold type on white label. This label maker is not a "printer" in that there are no ink cartridges inside. Rather, the label flows along and sticking to it is a black thin tape which transfers the desired letters via heat transfer, I believe. Hope this helps.

Yep, about the time my printer got to it's third set of ink cartridges it started acting up, it wouldn't print anything red and it went through ink at the speed of light. Rather then spend time, money and my very thin patients on what turned out to be a bad choice in printers, I donated it to my local charity and bought an Epson Workforce 2540 and have been very happy with it's performance so far.....

I am having the same problem, and I didn't realize there were other people with the yellow ink issue. I'm sorry to say that I can't help in any way except to commiserate with you. I'm so disappointed because I bought this printer specifically for my classroom, and I loved it up until the bleeding yellow took over. At first I thought it was a bad cartridge even though it was brand new, so I ordered another one. It didn't help. I don't know what to do other than buy another printer. I will write the company and post any response.

The unit that fits inside your printer should have a reset button on the front...mine is white and square. After you click this, go to your program and click on the button that sets up the new cartiage....mine works after I do this.In fact, before my ink runs down a little bit, the printer program wants to say it is empty and all I do is reset it and reset the printer. These programs are assigned, I think to recognize using x amount of ink even when it is not empty. Even the cartiages you use, it says they are empty when in fact there is 20% ink still available.

Great question . . . on my previous inkjet printer, I could turn off the color ink and print only in black and white, but on this one I can't figure out how to turn off the color ink, and although I normally print only black and white, it still uses up the color ink somehow.

This printer can scan in color, but only prints in black and white. In my experience, most of these machines scan in color.

If it doesn't want to print try pushing the OK button which acknowledges that you got the error message.I buy my ink from CarrotInk.com Total for all 5 cartridges $76.75I'll have to check out Office Max.

I haven't had that problem, but you need to check something. There is a check box in printer settings that asks if you want to let the printer process the print for you (not in those words, but you'll find it). It is checked by default, but you may have turned it off. Turn it back on and see if that helps. Every print I have made is exactly as I intended, but that may be your answer. If it isn't, email Canon's tech support. They are second to none, and you will get your answer. Hope that helps! I wouldn't get rid of my Pro 10 unless you shot me and took it!

Tried all of the suggested corrections to no avail then a light went on above my head. References to the ink overflow being full. Try this: Open lid and allow the ink carrier to center itself. Behind the ink carrier you will see a row of white rollers. At the right side end of the rollers you will see a small white unit with a little piece of plastic sticking up. Now, take a piece of paper towel, or maybe a Q-tip, and clean all of the ink off this little piece of plastic. Recommend rubber gloves while doing this. Found ink all over the place in mine. Immediately towards the front, maybe an inch, from of that piece of clear plastic there is a small square that is a foam, sponge like pad. Take some pieces of paper towels and press into this foam. Do this several times until the paper towel is no longer soaking up ink. Once that is completed, close the lid, turnoff the printer, restart the printer and print a test page. This cleared the 6C10 error and I was able to print again with no problem. Might be a good idea to soak up the ink in the pad every time you change inks.

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.

You probably have a faulty color ink cartridge or you have used up all of your red ink. I suggest that you put in a fresh color cartridge and see if that doesn't give you good color balance.

You really have to press it in HARD. If that doesn't work, look to be sure the contacts on the cartridge and printer are intact.

You have to print on both white and yellow pages. Carefully remove it and place it in your printer following the arrows and directions on the package. Then when you place the white on top of the yellow you write once on the white and it transfers to the yellow. (It took me a couple of trial runs.)

Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message. A color ink cartridge must be in place. The only thing I can suggest is to let the color cartridge run out of ink, then choose a "faxable print" option in the program if it's available. You can try the greyscale option, but I don't know if the greys use the black (lighter) or if they use the color ink. If you already own this printer, play around with these options. If you HAVEN'T already bought this, try a different printer. If you do A LOT of printing, you may want to consider a LASER printer. The BLACK ONLY ones have become quite affordable and the toner roll lasts a very long time.

I don't own this product but unless your printer has white ink your won't be able to print white on clear paper.

You have the option to print in grayscale instead of color. However, ink from the three color cartridges are used up in a process the machine uses to make sure the cartridges don't dry up. So, bottom line: you will need color cartridges, and you will have to replace them from time to time. I use generic cartridges, so the cost is minimal.
