someone was telling me that he has to change all his ink cartridges even if one [Magenta,for example] runs out.
I do know that there are printers that us 3 cartridges for ink and some us a cartridge for each and every color.

I had a printer like that... very expensive proposition... cartridge replacement costs soon became more than the cost of the printer itself...I switched to a black ink only printer -a monochrome laser printer -and have been very happy with my choice.

The ink is costly, but I only replace which ever one is going out, but I will never buy ink from simply ink. It would not print and would never show the photo that it was full. What a waste.

That's insane. I can imagine the amount of money he spends on ink! I have a Kodak printer/scanner that can print photos, along with documents, etc. There's two cartridges that are so easy to change, a 3 year old can do it. The black ink refill costs about $10 and the color refill costs about $20. I'm really happy with it and the ink isn't so expensive I feel like I have to spend half a paycheck refilling it, LOL.

My old computer had one tank for black and another for the three colors. Now I have an Epson and I can change colors one at a time. However they say it won't run if one of the colors is empty.
