If i have no black ink in my printer, can I use color ink to produce black?

I have run out of black ink for my printer. I still have color ink left. If I change my font color to something that is close to black but not black, will my color ink replicate the near black color or can only black ink produce all shades of black.If i have no black ink in my printer, can I use color ink to produce black?
No, you can't. Best you could do it Grey. You need black to achieve some of the darker colors. Go get another cartridge.If i have no black ink in my printer, can I use color ink to produce black?
I have been refilling ink cartridges for over 10 years and I don't think that would be a good idea for several reasons, you won't get a true black, you will contaminate your cartridge, and you will need to buy a new cartridge. If it were me I would refill it or have it done. If you do not know how to do it yourself I don't recomend it you will have ink everywere and it won't come out.
Some printers will run with only one cartridge in. If that one cartridge is the color one, your printer will fire the colors one on top of the other to make black. It's a compilation black, not as dark as straight black, but it might do.





Since you did not include your printer model, you can see if your printer will function with only one cartridge by physically removing the black cartridge. As long as you don't get an error message or a flashing light, you're good to go. Some printers I can think of off the top of my head that take two cartridges, but will work with one: almost any Lexmark, HP 842C,5550,5940,6500,6900 series.





Compilation black uses your color ink up in a hurry, I would only recommend it for a quick substitute, and then replace your black cartridge ASAP.
What will most likely happen is the black in whatever you are printing will come out a purple-ish or maroon. Its probably just better to go get a new black cartridge.
The closest would be gray, but it will not really work.





Black it's not a color, therefore it cannot be created it with other combinations or mixtures of other colors.
Go to printing propertities then to layout and quality there is a place writtten colour choose blakc and white then print
when i run out of the Black ink i usually use the Gray colour to print my document ......doesnt show that much . mine it works dont now about others..
yes...my printer allows that but i not sure about yours
both of them r correct
NO i don't think that's possible.. All you can do is buy a new one for your printer.. The best site I know is http://www.Ask4Ink.com

Not really, it can mimic black but it won't be the same. Go get a new cartridge.
