Using print cartridges
Everyday printing – Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print jobs.
Quality color photos – For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or other special
documents, remove the black print cartridge and use a photo print cartridge in combination with the
tri-color print cartridge. See
Printing digital photographs.
Quality black and white photos – For outstanding black and white photographs, remove the black
print cartridge and use a gray photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-color cartridge. See
Printing in grayscale.
