My printer has run out of RBY.... Enter the AD-FREE zone

..but still has plenty of black ink, I need to print a purely text document, but it keeps giving the 'out of ink' thing.

I know text isn't totally black and that why i'm getting the error, is there a way around this?

Even greyscale may not work with certain printers. Some companies make a so much profit on selling ink cartridges, they rig their printers not to work unless both cartidges are installed. Both must still have toner, too.

yep, no luck, thanks though Japher. Maybe I need to get a mono laser printer, what are running costs on those things?

Why don't you get a printer with a black cartrdge and a RBY one? That way if this happens again you can just replace the RGB and have a half-filled black one.

So why don't you just replace the RGY? Sounds like much ado about nothing to me...

These are bad. These are sold on the Gillette Principle: the printer is the razor and the ink cartridges are the disposable blades.

The mininum you want to get, if you want an inkjet printer instead of a laser printer, is one with 4 independent cartridges. These are a bit more expensive in the beginning, but will save you money in the long run.
