Does the black ink cartridge take the place of the photo ink cartridge? Right now I have a CL41 &amp; a 52 in my printer

I'm not sure what the 52 is, but if it is a black cartridge, the PG-40 SHOULD replace it if you are using a CL-41, which is the color cartridge I use with the PG-40. I haven't ever used the photo ink cartridges, but I think that the PG-40 and the CL-41 do just fine with color photo printing.

Not all replacements are compatible, because some take photo ink and others do not, you need to make sure that you are getting the right ink, some say not compatible with printers that need photo ink.

No - only the Black ink cartridge fits the Photosmart Plus. I made the same mistake thinking Photo Black was for photos.Both have the same number 564xl but they have different size cartridges. Real dumb move on HP's part.

Check your cartridge holder. If your black one is larger than your colored cartridges you should be okay. There should have been a little color card that came with your printer that states the cartridge to use, ex: hp564/564XL

No. You just need to go to "Maintenance", select "Ink Cartridge Settings". There you could select the cartridge to be used for printing. If the empty one is color, then you choose "Black Only" (and vice versa). I hope this helps :)

Hi the replacement cartridge seems to work for [SUB-CARTRIDGE INK TANK 5 Pack] for Canon PGI-225 CLI-226 Cartridge Pixma MG5120 MG5200 MG5220 MG5220 RFB MG5320 IX6520 MX712 MX880 MX882 MX892... I am currently using it just fine for my MG5320 model Canon printer. Hope this helps you.

David, The way I understand it is that one is "pigment black" and the other is "photo black". I guess one works better for photos. I rarely print photos but both black cartridges seem to get used.

We have an HP Photosmart 7850. It has built in software designed to detect any cartridge that is not an official HP and essentially disable the printer so it won't work. Our works reluctantly with the generic color cartridge and doesn't work at all with a generic black. It sucks but that's the way it works.

Yes it will! Just don't remove the empty tank. Leave both tanks in order for this to work. First you need to go to the control panel and select hardware and devices, right click on your MX522 printer. You should see a drop down menu. You will then select printing preferences. Then a box will appears with tabs at the top you will select the maintenance tab. Then click on Ink cartridge settings. It will give you a choice to print with whatever ink tank you choose. Then just hit ok and then close out the boxes. Not to worry it will not change any setting other than which tank you want to print from. But remember when you do want to add new ink just make sure to go back and change the setting for your printer to print with color again. hopefully this will help you out.

Both are true. I did not know at the time of my post that any different action was required, but one black cartridge has malfunctioned by leaving partially unprinted streaks in the lines of print. I removed it, wiped an accumulation of ink off it, reinstalled it and got some good printing, maybe 15 or 20 pages before it did the same again. I disposed of it so I would not have that frustration again. Jon

I have Photosmart 7525 so don't know what cartridges your printer takes. You need to look it up online or go to Staples of Office Depot and check with the techies. All printers have their own ink specifications.

I have 7520. On my printer, this is the cartridge is the black ink. On the 7520, the photo is narrow like the colored cartridges. This cartridge is the wide one that replaced the standard black ink.

There is only one slot for the black ink cartridge. When you are printing on matte paper you need to use a matte black cartridge and when you are printing a photo you need to switch to a black photo cartridge. It's kind of a pain but this printer prints so nice it is worth the trouble. I keep the black cartridge I am not using in a zip lock bag and switch back and forth between cartridges as I need to.

My printer is Canon Pixma iP7220 and from this set I bought, so far I have only used the big black ink cartridge PGI-250BK since it is the only one I have run out of from the cartridges loaded in my printer and that one is working quite fine. I am hoping I will not have any problems with the other cartridges when I have to load them. Sorry, I could not help with your question.

I am not sure what you are talking about when you say the skinny photo cartridge. My Hp wireless printer fits the 564. There is a wide black one. Then the three thin color ones. This is the black that fits my Hp. I know there are two different sizes as far as ink output with the black, but I have never bought the one that says bonus ink.

No, but the black cartridge only worked for about 2 applications and then I had to throw it out. But the supplier DID send a replacement and that seems to be working. The colored cartridges have worked fine. I sure hope nothing bursts in MY printer. And I won't be purchasing any more of these remanufactured items.

With regards to the ink jet cartridges, it seems that the smaller black cartridge and the larger black cartridge have to have ink to run the printer. Right now, the larger one is out of ink, but why does it not continue to print from the smaller black cartridge? Is there a setting for this or did I do something wrong during my initial installation of these cartridges?
