[pchelpers] Re: Canon Printer / ink question

Hi Re-Na,
Setting the printer to grayscale will not have the desired effect. All that
will happen is the printer will use the colour cartridges to produce a
colour chord that looks gray. If you need to produce 3000+ invitations and
black is OK, I would suggest a cheap mono laser printer. The purchase price
of the printer would probably be less than the cost of the ink cartridges
you would use up.

Subject: [pchelpers] Canon Printer / ink question

I have a Canon MP500 printer.
It uses 2 black inks, and 3 color inks.
If I am printing something like a stack of invitations, over 3000....
is it wise to change the setting to have it not use the color inks somehow?

In Print settings, I can click on 'print in grayscale'.  Would that not 
use the color inks?
<And would it still give me a good clear black font?>

Just wondering as I'm using ink fast.  :)

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
