Does the printer force you to print in RGB mode or can you print in CMYK mode?

I believe that it will do either. I have printed out in RGB and CMYK through Photoshop.

According to Cannon the printer will choose to print photos CMYK mode. That is the best I can do since I am not an expert.

you can but If you are out of color, it won't let you print until you replace the cartridge...even if you switch it to black only.

yes. in my experience with this printer you have to replace colors before you can print again. i have tried going to black and white only and greyscale like the support pages ask you to do but i have had no luck.

By pressing ok you can print. However the quality of print will be compromised. Had to return the ink

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.

I use Photoshop CC and it works very well. Just remember to turn of the printer color management and let "Photoshop determines color" control the color. I do not use Photoshop Elements.

Do a nozzle check on your printer. Run three consecutive cleaning cylces.Change your graphic to a jpg and print in rgb.Google it.Just a couple suggestions.

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.

The fix didn't work for me. I unchecked the 'enable status monitor' and it even stayed disabled, but it still says it sees 2 cyan cartridges and refuses to print. I also tried turning off the printer and when I turned it back on it still did the same thing.

Yes, and no. When it gets low, you get multiple warnings on the printers color touch panel and your computers printing software. You are given the option to ignore and it will continue to print - however once any cartridge is really out, it will not print. The one exception is B&W. If a color cartridge is out, you can force print in B&W only - but this works only for so long - once two carts are very low or out - you will no longer be able to print. We always keep 1 spare of every cartridge, just in case - but let it run as low as possible, warnings and all. This really is a good office printer.

No problem with printer printing in purple hue. Have you cleaned the printer ink heads under the maintenance menu? And only purchase the kodak ink for the printer, do not refill the cartridges. Well I hope this is helpful and I hope it works. MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have a great suggestion, know that this feature has been disabled by Lexmark, they will send you a "Firmware update" that will make your printer completely useless. No longer will you be able to print without it drinking up your color ink and then you have to replace the color before it will print in black again. I hope for a class action suit that will help the consumer recover some of their losses from this sabotage!

You can go to Print Preferences, then Color and then choose grayscale. The default printing is in color and I don't know how to change that, but it does work to change it for each print job. Hope that helps.Susan

the power button is on left top straight over to right side top button there's probably little green slash light / this means paper is printing from top ,if you press button right under green slash (light) it will change to green horizontal slash and print from bottom tray. very simple.

Otherwise it will try to mix the colors to produce black. I am not sure how long it will allow this before requiring you to replace the color cartridges though, because it still requires enough color ink to perform the print head cleaning operations.

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.

I don't know but the printer "decides" that cartridges need to be changed even with little use. We have some of these at our office and they are set to print Black and White only. The printer still forces us to change the color cartridges once in a while.
