Yeah they worked great for me. I didn't get any duds. They write in black ink. You can see the tube of black ink in the middle of the pen that's like any other ball point pen.

No, it won't print if is out of color ink. It already happen to me. Even though I was trying to pring a black copy.

Ink is black and I just love this pen! The purple exterior is very dark, but I know it is purple. Have a great day!!!!

Yes. It only prints in black. The reason I got this is because if u print in black most of the time u use less ink versus the multi-color printers. Multi-color printer uses all colors even if u are printing in black only, therefor ink runs out quicker and its a bigger expense. Hope this helps.

I think is does. You will need an empty color cartridge without ink. Ignore the blinking light and computer notification that the ink is low or out.

Nope. That's why I hate this printer. Once you run out of color ink, all functionality eventually ceases - can't print in black, can't copy with black, can't even scan (which is perhaps the most amazing of all). Epson software allegedly lets you print with just black, but eventually all those methods stop working.

I am so sorry... I do not know the answer to that question. I did not know there were differences in inks. However! It seems to me the very first time I printed something out with these cartridges that I bought that the black ink did not seem as dark and clear as ink from Office Max. So maybe this is why. Hope this helps.

Yes it does but I wouldn't buy it. It doesn't write well at all. It skips constantly and I have to retrace letters over and over. I wrote a hand written letter to Cross expressing my disappointment with their product and I never heard back from them. I would highly discourage you from purchasing this pen.

Yes...but, it's black toner, actually. So, it last so much longer than tiny tanks of ink. Great printer.

This is black ink. You need to confirm that your Workforce 3520 takes this cartridge.

The pens are colored, the ink is not. Ink is invisible and only shows up once black light is shined on it. Black light is in the tip of each pen.

Ink is similar to a yellow highlighter when under black light. I have not tried it with a different light.

Yes, it will continue to print black when colors are low. Replace the rest when the computer screen tells you to do it. BTW, I found that aftermarket inks will foul your inkjets and will render it useless. You can get Canon inkjets at lower prices in Amazon or eBay. As an aside, the inks last longer than other Canon printers I owned.

I was not happy with the re-manufactured black ink cartridge. The on-line status tells me that my ink is out. I was able to monkey with it and it does print, but I could not tell you what I did or how I did it. I've already ordered my official HP black ink for when this does finally quit working. Sorry, I realize this is not helping.

No, if any of the color cartridges are empty it doesn't print black (as in text). It doesn't print anything. p.s. Just happened to notice the black print option on the actually printer, and tried it out (the printing option is the only one that doesn't seem to respond to this option) but copying certainly did. Sorry for the incomplete answer.
