2 Tri-color print cartridge
3 Photo print cartridge
4 Gray photo print cartridge
Note
The availability of print cartridges varies by country/region.
Use print cartridges
The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:
●
Everyday printing
: Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print
jobs.
●
Quality color photos
: For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or
other special documents, remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print
cartridge. The photo print cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge,
provides you with virtually grain-free photos.
●
Quality black and white photos
: For outstanding black and white photographs,
remove the black print cartridge and use a gray photo print cartridge in combination
with the tri-color print cartridge.
