Inkjet Refill Saver - April 2016
This works for my printer, it may not work for yours - I know some won't print if any of the cartridges are empty.
I have an inkjet printer that does excellent colour printing. However I most often use it for printing emails and documents that are fine just in black and white. Whenever I turn the printer on it goes into a routine to ensure all the inkjets are clear and ready for use. This uses a bit of ink each time and I find that despite using colour only rarely, the coloured ink still runs out. That is expensive and a waste.
So now I keep the empty cartridges in the printer. It complains but (fortunately) when I hit the "OK" button it carries on and uses the black ink - which is all I want anyway.
I load in the coloured cartridges with ink in them when I want to do coloured printing - replacing with the empties when I am done. I keep the slightly used cartridges in a small airtight box so they stay fresh.
