Investing in high-quality color ink or toner will boost your print jobs with sharp, crisp, and vibrant colors. If you have color ink/toner cartridges and are still experiencing black and white prints only, we can help you troubleshoot!
Color Ink Compatible Devices
If you want to print in color, it is critical to ensure that the printer you invested in has color printing capabilities. Some printers can only print in black and white, so if you have invested in one of these devices, it may be time to upgrade your current equipment. Luckily, finding a color ink-compatible printer for your office is not that difficult. In fact, many of the printers on the market today can print in color and black and white.
You can find compatible models for color ink/toner, from laser printers and inkjets to multifunction printers. If you try printing in color on a printer specifically made to print only in black and white, you will waste money on ink/toner and seriously damage your device. Avoid these issues by investing in a compatible printer with various ink/toner color options.
Troubleshooting
If you have a compatible printer and ink/toner to print in color and still are not achieving color prints, there is likely something else going on with your operating system. Usually, this can be solved by navigating to your printer settings and unselecting the “greyscale” (black and white) option. Most printers will automatically print in greyscale because it is the dominant print format for most businesses and organizations.
If you have unclicked the greyscale option and are still experiencing black and white prints, ensure that the color ink you invested in is compatible with the specific printer device you are using. For instance, if you try using ink or toner from Ricoh for a HP printer, you will have poor print results. Avoid ruining your print jobs by investing in the correct ink for your brand device.
If you have checked both options and are still having trouble, check that the ink/toner cartridge was placed in your printer correctly. Changing ink or toner can initially seem intimidating if you are unfamiliar with operating a printer. As a rule of thumb, you should hear a “click” noise to ensure that the cartridge is secure in the printer. If the cartridge is not secure, it can cause spills that can damage your printer and affect the quality of your print jobs.
