• 7525 photosmart all-in-One: black ink Photo being used, but no photo printing

  Photo black cartridges use continuously ink, requiring replacement, and yet I rarely printed photos.  Why?

  Hello

  In fact the printer using other color inks and blend them together to print B & W too. All you need to do is tell the printer to use black ink only.

  Click on the dektop printer > click Preferences > settings click on advanced

  Under grayscale options, select black ink only.

  Click OK/apply

  Kind regards.

• OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

  Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

  In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

  In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

  I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

  Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

  What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

• use of ink on an ip8720 of adjustment

  I use the ip8720 with the latest version of Mac OSX Mavericks. Is it possible to adjust the level of use of ink when printing photos?

  I just PrintFab.com. They have drivers reduce / control the use of ink, even with photos.

• HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

  Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

  Text in black it prints appears in gray.

  It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

  The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

  I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

  The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

  Of course, color works fine.

  I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

  I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

  Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

  In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

  My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

• Dell photo printer 720 Windows 7 compatibility reference

  Is is possible to use a Dell Photo Printer 720 with Windows 7 and if so, how to set up.

  ichabbodjd,

  Yes, it is possible to have this printer work with Windows 7. You must...

  Unplug the printer. Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

  Restart your computer. Download the vista drivers, and then install them in compatibility mode. If you have Windows 7 32 bit, then download 32-bit Vista drivers. If you have Windows 7 64 bit, then download 64-bit Vista drivers. The links to the patch and drivers are to...

  Let me know what happens.

  With Windows 7, I found that installing the software and Vista drivers in compatibility mode works well.

• HP Envy 5644: Photo prints using far too much ink.

  I just bought this printer today.  When you print on regular paper, it prints just fine.  When you print pictures, he uses a ridiculous amount of ink so that the paper is still damp several hours later and so stained, is not recognizable.  I use HP photo paper supplied with the printer and the cartridges that came with it.  If I can't get this resolved I'll take back to the store for a refund.

  I'm getting the same problem when Windows 10 printing than printing from my iPad.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.  I use HP Advanced Photo paper, it came with the printer.  I went through the process of re - load the paper and the verification of the configuration of the printer.  I realized that I had previously inserted the paper upside down, so it was printing on the back of the paper (my previous printer had photo paper loaded in the back, so it was the other way around).  Once corrected, the prints are very good.  Thank you for your help - I am happy that my muppetry has been solved before I took the printer to the store that would have been even more embarrassing.

• stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

  My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

  The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

  Thank you

  The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

  This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.

• which uses less ink, best quick scratch paper or photo paper.

  Which uses less ink, best quick scratch paper or photo paper.  I don't mean quality, a little less of ink used.  I also used photo paper, then selected the fast project of plain paper.  Not great quality, as expected, but always looking to use less ink.  My guess is that the paper uses more because it is more porous. My printer is a hp Deskjet 2050.  My OS is 64-bit Intel Core I-7-2670 QM.

  Thanks for any help

  Plain paper settings use less ink, inkjet paper selection will use more and photo paper will use the most.  Draft mode uses generally about half Normal or best mode ink.  Normal and best modes use about the same amount of ink (although best mode takes more time to print and passes).

  There are a few other considerations to minimize consumption of ink:

  • Don't run don't not cleaning cycles from the Toolbox unless needed (rarely).  Beyond the normal start and stop of ink cleaning cycles use cycles and shortens the life of supply and the printer.
  • Always keep the printer plugged in to an outlet.  Using an external symbol tilt like a switch taken or master switch will cause the printer to use more ink at startup.  It can also leave the printheads to be left not clipped, allowing them to dry out.

• INK HP Photo Smart 7520

  I have printer HP Photo Smart 7520.  I ordered a package and an extra black, but both black ink are the same size and I needed one of each size.  The thin and thick.   What is the number of cartridge for black ink thin?

  One you seht url tells me 317, it is thin like the original that came with the printer marked "Setup"?

  In the meantime, I've seen one scored 316.  I don't want to obtain again the size of wong.  Could be expensive. Laughing out loud

• can I print documents with 364 ink photo on my hp photosmart b110?

  I am a student and want to get the biggest number of pages for how I spent... I watched the xl inks but they are quite expensive, I am also looking ink photo because on the hp site, it says the following:

  HP 364 black of ink cartridge 250 standard pages
  HP 364 Photo Black Ink Cartridge 1500 standard pages (estimated)

  As it is said about, I would like to know if it's worth me printing on ink photo with this greater amount of pages?
  I found this photo to oly £1 ink more than ordinary black ink. This is why I ask myself this question.

  Hello

  The calculation doesn't work this way. The black picture because his name is for the pictures and the printer uses black very small photo to mix with other colors so it can last up to 1500 pages. One last thing, you can't trade them, can show and the printer does not print.

  Kind regards.

• Photosmart A716 Photo Printer INK BLURRED, JUST BLOB WET INK ON PICTURES

  We used this printer for about a year without this problem, all of a sudden, the photos are versions of just blurry blob of the actual photo. It is possible to do in the photo, but the ink is super humid and fuzzy with a halo in overall effect. they are horrible and useless. We have realigned, clean the ink cartridge, print several different photo even sessions on different cameras and it's the same thing. The problem certainly lies in the printer. It is more under warranty and they help me without charge. Any ideas?

  Sounds like a build up of residue of ink and paper on the rolls.

• HP OfficeJet 8600: Print using black ink only

  We use our printer as a copier only.  It is not connected to a computer.  Why do the color cartridges run out of ink and we cannot print black print.  We print any documents using color.  Is it possible to turn on the black only?

  Sorry, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has separated from the inks and printheads and requires that all inks are available to avoid damage to the print head.

  You can minimize the ink used with the following steps:

  • Use draft mode when the quality is sufficient.  Draft mode uses about half the ink or Normal or best mode.
  • Power switch of the printer only allows to turn off the printer.  If an external switch (as a protector or output impulse) is used more ink will be used at startup.

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. The Officejet 8040 has us an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 8600.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.
