Does this also print in color?

Nope. It only has capacity for a toner cartridge. But if u want to scan a pic or something with color and send to a color printer, it will do. Hope this helps.

Although it is a monochrome printer, this device will scan in color... at least if you scan and save in a JPEG format. We have so far been happy with this purchase.

Yes, but you have to specifically select "Gray scale" in the printer properties. The default behavior is to not print when a cartridge is empty. So when my color cartridges went out I just switched to gray scale to continue printing and I have no plans of replacing the color cartridges.

I'm pretty sure it does... although I have not done it. it's the best printer I have ever owned...

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!

No. You need four different toner cartridges and software that separates the print image by color (Black, magenta, cyan and yellow) to print color. Color laser printers are a whole lot larger than black/white laser printers for this reason.

If you consider greyscale a color then yes but this printer is only a black and white label printer.

From the printer command box, there is an option, after the preview, to print in black instead of color. From pc set your print under from preferences > advanced > set print to grayscale = yes.

Yes, it can print in just black. You will need to set that within your printer settings on your PC. But note, you will still need all 4 color cartridges or the printer will not print.

this printer does not use color cartridges to print B&W-- at least not by default. If you are low or out of B&W ink the printer will ask you if you want to use the color cartridges to create black. This was a major selling point for me because I used to hate how HP printers required color to print B&W.

You have the option to print in grayscale instead of color. However, ink from the three color cartridges are used up in a process the machine uses to make sure the cartridges don't dry up. So, bottom line: you will need color cartridges, and you will have to replace them from time to time. I use generic cartridges, so the cost is minimal.

nope....it's just the model it is .... it's a Cannon Pixma MG 5220. Uses a 4 pak of #226 assorted colors (one of which is black) and 1 #225 Black which is maybe double the width of the 226's. That's as deep as my knowledge goes on this. I'm sorry....I misunderstood your question. There is a setting to print with just black, not color.

Yes. For example if your red, yellow and blue cartridges were empty, it would print black as long as the black cartridge has ink. You can look into the ink levels from any computer, love this printer. I use the Inktoneram Remanufactured Ink Cartridges sold on Amazon. They work great and save me a ton of money which I used to spend on my old HP printer.

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.

It does not print in color. It only has a black toner cartridge. It's why the manufacturer refers to it as monochrome. Mono means one or single.

It prints in both color and black and white. Our black cartridge would not work for some reason so it would use color instead. Look into a canon pixma. They are cheaper and work much better in my experience. I got one for myself and one for my mom and we both love them.

yes. in my experience with this printer you have to replace colors before you can print again. i have tried going to black and white only and greyscale like the support pages ask you to do but i have had no luck.
