Does this printer have the ability to print in multiple colors?

To elaborate on some of the other answers, there is one print head, so only one filament can be used at one time. However, you can pause the printer and change filament mid-print if you need to print colors in layers. For example, if you wanted to print a background object (cube, whatever) in one color and switch to another for embossed-looking text, this would be possible with close observation of your print and timely intervention. If you need to print colors in a complex structure, it will be extremely difficult to coordinate the filament swapping.

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.

Yes, You can choose between Auto, Color or Mono in the Printing Preferences (right-click printer icon) and also on a case-by-case basis by changing the settings on the print dialog. As others have stated, you cannot print if one cartridge is "empty", but this can be bypassed by resetting the cartridge through the printer menu. Google it or check on YouTube for detailed instructions.

are you asking if the iP4300 can print in black & white, surely you're not asking that, maybe I have missed the full question, the iP4300 is a brilliant printer, able to print in Black & white, direct onto cd & dvd discs, automatic duplex, borderless, oh the list goes on, and you can now buy the CISS system which saves 's or $$$$$'s, whereever you reside

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.

No. After it runs out of a certain amount of color ink it will absolutely refuse to print, even with a full new black ink when you are trying to print in just black. It's really a rip off and I don't plan on buying one of these again. Right now I have a complete paperweight until I can afford some color ink, even though I never print in color.

Yes, there is a setting to print in black only. When you click to print, the window on the printer will ask if you want it in color or black and white. That being said, you still have to have color ink s in the printer to get it to work at all. I have basically given up on printers and take most of my work to places like OfficeMax etc. the quality of these home printers seems to have gone down over the years. It costs a fortune for the ink and it seems to run out very fast. It is touchy too, always saying it is out of paper when it is not. Sorry to be negative, but this machine doesn't impress me at all.

It comes loaded with all 4 colors. You will need to buy your spares.I love this printer, just so you know.

No. The printer requires that all cartridges be in place to operate; otherwise, you get an error message. And the printer's technology can tell exactly which color cartridge is missing.

Hi J. Criss, The CubeX will only print in one color but the CubeX *TRIO* will allow you to print in three colors. Thank you. Team Cubify.

There is no such button. Your software determines whether to print color or B/W. I use Ubuntu Linux, and configuration problems have sometimes prevented people from printing color on this and other printers.

Yes, you can, but I strongly advise that you don't purchase this printer. It requires you to constantly change the black and color cartridges (even if you never print color), making it the most costly printer I have ever owned.

No, it does not. It seems to support some manual duplex option (i.e., it'll print one side, then you put the pages in the other way, and it'll print the other side). But you can ALWAYS do that through software options, and it doesn't have any auto-duplexing in the hardware side, like more expensive or more feature-competitive printers would.

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

I cannot use my printer without the color ink is possible to make black copies but to print something you need all colors

No, it does not *automatically* print all spectrum of colors. If you want photo-quality, you will need to do a four-color printing process. Programs like Photoshop and Gimp will separate the colors and you would create a screen for each of the basic printing colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). You would use each screen to print the next color. After all four colors are printed, you will have a photo-quality screen print.
