Every Epson I've ever had gives you the option in the print menu. Simply select B&W from the print menu. |

I have a Kodak ESP5. Tried the Black & White setting and the printer still will not work. According to the Staples repair technician, "Even when the Black & White box ix checked, the coloured ink cartridge is still being drained. According to the printer people, colour is added to the black to enhance the printing quality. I have just installed the new colour cartridge and it is working fine. I will leave the setting on B & W and let you know when the colour box runs out. Ed |

I have a Brother MFC-6490CW inkjet printer/scanner/copier/fax machine. It is wonderful! It will handle paper up to 11 X 17 inches. The B&W mode is a true B&W mode (i.e. it only uses black ink). The ink is relatively inexpensive when purchased from http://www.professorink.com/ (three orders so far and all of them very good). I print a lot of drawings (20-30 per week on average) as well as 50-100 document sheets in an average week. I get upwards of a year from the "high capacity" cartridges. My model is now four years old. I know that the model number has changed since then. It is a truly wonderful workhorse! |

I'm still using an oldish all in one (about 2 years old), Epson RX620. Which will do all black printing from the setup menu. The reason I haven't changed it? I can get third party cartridges for less than a fiver a set. http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/product.php?nav=8&product=PJ-R300-COMBO-5&title=5+Packs+of+Epson+R200+%2F+R220+%2F+R300+%2F+R320+%2F+R340+%2F+RX500+%2F+RX600+%2F+RX620+6+Ink+Bundle+%2830+Cartridges%29+ My next printer will be the one that I can get full cartridge sets for cheap. They basically give printers away for nothing nowadays, and get their money back on ink cartridge sales. You only have to look at HP for exorbitant cartridge prices, which when I used to use one, I refilled the cartridges up to five or six times before the built in heads started to clog up, and even then they can easily be unclogged to give even more life. And no, I have never had any problems printing with them, and colour photos still come out great. John |
