Can I put two black ink boxes at the same time? Just black ink, no color

I do not know for sure but I suspect so. There is an option for grayscale printing but I have not been successful with it.

I Just replaced my black ink..Printer is ON, lift that large top lid... plus the part with CANON written on it...Both inks move to center...Once lid (top) is up you can plainly see both inks--Color's on left, black ink on right. Lift the old one out and once you have the new Black one in hand slip it into the black compartment--turn downward slightly and push gently into slot. Close lid, then lift the small lid on the right front of the printer/be sure it is turned to ON---green light shows. PRESS ON, OKAY and BLACK if it is a black refill you have replaced. Close top lid & allow printer to do its thing as it prepares that new cartridge for another few months. DONE.

The box I got said black on the outside and it was a black ink cartridge on the inside. The black ink cartridge is larger than any of the color cartridges.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to use just black you need to go into properties or settings on our printer and (or computer at print) and click on black only.

I'm really sorry to break your heart here, but you can't! The design is meant to make customers buy unecessary ink. If you want to print color but dont have black ink, it won't let you either. There is no way to bi-pass. I just recycled this printer and decided to buy a different printer by a different manufacturer. Make sure when you buy a new printer, that it has ability to print black and white or colors independently.

No. If you run out of Black ink, the unit will ask you if you want it to mix the color ink to make black.

If you are out of black ink the printer won't be able to print in black and white. The color cartridge only has colored ink. It is very likely that the two cartridges will not run out at the same time. In the case you describe I believe you would have to buy a new black cartridge to resume printing in black and white.

Ink cartridges have a tendency to dry out if not used often enough. If you only want to print in black can you leave the tape on the others and use black only

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.

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 own this printer, but I believe the printer uses two different types of Black ink (at the same time, in different slots). So, for the printer to work, you would have to have all the color cartridges installed as well as both black cartridges - one of each type.

You can set your printer to just print in black and white only, this possibly would cut down on using the color inks.

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.

There are 2 ink tanks. One is black and the other is color. If the black is empty the colors print funny. And if the color is empty, the black prints faded looking. So the answer is, yes it will work, but it won't look very good.

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.
