What color uses up the most ink on a printer?

I think I heard that grey and brown use up the most amount of ink. I'm using an inkjet and want to conserve where possible. Thanks!What color uses up the most ink on a printer?
If your printer doesn't have a black ink cartridge, then black is the most ink consuming. If you do, however, have a separate ink cartridge, then you are correct that grey and brown are the worst offenders.





If you're printing a lot of black, consider getting a laser printer. They are for sale at Staples and Officemax for $50 now when on sale, and their printing speeds are much faster. My $50 Samsung printer has been great, and it prints 20 pages/minute.What color uses up the most ink on a printer?
It's not about which color uses which amount, but which colors use more than one tone. For example, a green font will use both the yellow and the cyan tones where a purple will use the cyan and magenta...etc.





With inkjets, the ink use is primarily in which quality you print in (draft, normal, or high) and how think the lines are.





Just use normal or draft whenever possible and use thin lined fonts and the ink will last quite a while.
That depends upon the printer. IN almost all newer printers the answer is actually black, as not only are you using your black cartridge it also underlays all three colours to darken and sharpen the black.
White space uses up the least ink, so to save ink, just print blank pages.
black thats why it comes separate and if you where to mic all colours on a cartridge you would get black too





research primary colours
