Can you print color copies without having to use the Photo Color ink wells

There's no option to use basic colors. You can print color or your can print grayscale, but you can't limit color printing to certain cartridges.

Yes You can just use home ink jet printer to print this out. There is no special ink required

Yes. But when you run out of color inks you cannot print just black. You have to replace color cartridges even if you don't use them in order to print black. I gave up that nonsense and I bought an only black printer. I go to Kinko's when I occasionally need color prints. Good luck and happy new year.

It should print without the others. I have had one of the colors run out and just picked the black print option and I was fine.

No, it won't print if is out of color ink. It already happen to me. Even though I was trying to pring a black copy.

Sure. Just about any inkjet color printer will allow you to set the printer properties before you print. When you hit print, look next to the printer name. It should say properties. Click on that and set your default to black/white. When you want color, just return and change the properties for that document. I can't speak for all printers, but this is how it worked for the Lexmark pictured above and all of the hp printers I have owned.

Yes. I have not used the ink to print photos but when printing color documents it looks the same as with the OEM.

No. This printer will ensure you must purchase ink cartridges even if you intend to print greyscale only and even though there is NO COLOR INK needed to print greyscale!

When you hit the print button and the screen comes up for preferences. You can choose to print in color or in black ink. When making a copy you can choose either the color button or black button on the panel of the printer.

I suppose you are asking about high quality photos on photo paper. I haven't tried this, but suspect you need a much higher quality printer It does print in color. This printer is about as basic as you can get. It's fine for light home use, but not much more.

Yes but you can not use it for the "copy" function, only the print function

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.

Yes, if you run out of the colored ink, you must select "grayscale printing" from the print options on your computer, in order to just use the black ink to print. If you don't select "grayscale" it will not print if colored ink is missing.

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.

I'm not sure you can do it from the printer, but if I wanted a BW print from a color page, I'd open the document in an image editor, such as Photoshop, and make it an all BW document. Good luck.

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.

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.
