Hi Buffi. No, each cartridge slot is different, one for Black cartridges, and one for Tri-color cartridges. In this HP 2-cartridge printer, the printheads are built into the cartridges (black and tricolor). Our exclusive feature, Single Cartridge Mode, allows you to print with only one cartridge -- just don't leave the empty one in. So you never have to buy color if you don't want to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.JUST DO NOT PUT IN THE COLOR CARTRIDGE AND THE PRINTER WILL DEFAULT TO SINGLE CARTRIDGE MODE FOR YOUR BLACK CARTRIDGE
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, they are not the same even though they may look the same, but I would advise you not to place a black cartridge into the color cartridge, you may have a problem leaking black ink. Please understand each one does different things releasing the right quantity of inks. Color Ink takes a longer time than black ink when you print.
