Hello Louise, The most economic way is to get the largest toners for this Dell C1765nf/nfw. For example, it will cost $70 for each 1400 pages color toner (Yellow/Magenta/Cyan) [Dell 1,400-Page Magenta Toner Cartridge for Dell 1250c/ 1350cnw/ 1355cn/ 1355cnw/ C1760nw/ C1765nf/ C1765nfw Color Printers]. Also, it will cost another $70 to get the 2000 Pages black toner [Dell 2,000-Page Black Toner Cartridge for Dell 1250c/ 1350cnw/ 1355cn/ 1355cnw/ C1760nw/ C1765nf/ C1765nfw Color Printers]. If you want a color printer for a heavy use office environment, then I would suggest that you go with higher-end models, since it will cost less to print each page. For example, the Dell C5765dn Multifunction Color Laser Printer with Dell 1-Year to 3-Year Basic Limited Warranty and Dell 1-Year to 3-Year NBD Onsite Service [Dell PN: C5765dn], with MSRP of $4,235; but it will cost you $140 for the 18000 pages black toner! Thank you. RRI 11/18/2013 +++++++++

No problem what so ever. We print intermittently. The X576 ink system is superior and faster than color laser printers. It uses four vibrant inkjet cartridges.

If you need to use dye inks you will have to switch printers, perhaps the Canon Pro series will do you well. As for the bulk ink systems, unless you are using a system by the manufacture you can expect strong degradation in the color gamut and / or image life. Sorry to say, if you want quality prints, it doesn't come cheap!

Nope. None. Nada.I'm saving up for a black only laserjet instead and I haven't used this thing in over a year other than for excellent scanning. Refuse to buy magenta and yellow ink just to print a 1 page word doc in black.

The DELL C1760NW uses color laser toner cartridges. There are 4 separate cartridges, black, cyan, magenta and yellow. You can buy them from Dell direct (very expensive), or you can find generic cartridges here on Amazon at great savings. I have been using the Amazon EPS Replacement cartridges with no problem at all and at one fourth the price of the DELL cartridges.

Yes. It's about 4 cents per print black and 5.6 cents per print color if you use genuine Dell toner from Dell and even less if you want to use a re-manufactured cartridge. I guessed the inkjet price to be 8 cents for black and 9 cents for color. The more you print the more you'll save. If you print in the 1000's of sheets per month you might want to get something a little better than this one. The print yield of the cartridges is 1000 pages for the color and 1250 for the black. shop around for cartridge price per volume to get the best bang for your buck. You'll more than likely pay more at first for the printer but will save money in the long run from the cheaper price per print. Yes.

My cartridges have not run out yet, but I'd bet that if you specify Auto/Color, then it would not work because there is no color available. If you specify (from whatever machine you're printing from) that you want Black, then it should work fine. That's how other printers have worked for me.

Howdy Ram, The name brand black toner is around $90 on Amazon, and the color toners are $60 or so. I believe this one is like all other color laser printers, there's a low toner message for each cartridge and you'd replace them usually one at a time as they run out. Hope this helps.

Hi, I've owned two excellent Canon printers with 5+ ink cartridges each. Because I do a lot of photographic printing, I run through my inks more quickly. I actually keep a chart of when and which colors get replaced. I am able to anticipate my replacement needs better that way and can have spares on hand in advance. In my case, the colors that I use fastest seem to be yellows, then magenta which surprised me. I am looking to purchase another Canon printer and will only look at ones with individual ink tanks.

It didn't work with my Dell. I ended up getting a new all in one printer to replace my Dell. Can't say if it was the ink or the printer.

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.

Hi J.Young. No, the printer only has one black ink hole. I didn't know about the different black inks at the time I wrote that, but I know now. I have one photo black ink and will try it in the printer when my regular black ink runs out, but don't think it will work. Thanks for the reply. Ken

I can't help you there. I always buy the ink associated with the printer. sorry.

Yes it comes with ink, but when you run out of the black ink (at least for me), seems like the reloaded ink just wont take. I used 3 different black ink cartridges, & even replaced the CMY as well. Not sure what happened. :/

With regards to the ink jet cartridges, it seems that the smaller black cartridge and the larger black cartridge have to have ink to run the printer. Right now, the larger one is out of ink, but why does it not continue to print from the smaller black cartridge? Is there a setting for this or did I do something wrong during my initial installation of these cartridges?

I'm using generic ink with no problems. I don't print that much so I don't know about the printer using a lot of ink. Anyway I can get 4 ink cartridges, one of each color and black for less than $14 mailed to me with free shipping, so I don't worry about ink usage. I love this printer / copier. No more running to the library to make copies. Hope this info helps....

One fault of the printer is when color is empty you CANNOT print either. Must have ink in both in order to print.I usually just print black DRAFT to extend life of ink cartridges. I have 2 printers. I usually use one printer whilemy wife copies with the other printer.
