Can't print a black/white dinosaur sketch on Epson without buying and replacing yellow ink

laser is still better value

printing raptor porn user?

>Cause it prints the black as a mix of YCM instead of black

came here to post this.
inkjets make colours with addition, not like RGB (which uses subtraction).

I genuinely can't tell why it has black colour in this case, though. Probably something racism related.

>Epson
Enjoy your shitty printer faggot

They do, and they might even be a better value proposition than laser in some cases, however laser is way more convenient since it can sit indefinitely and be fully operational the moment you switch it on, unlike inkjet that suffers from all the immaginabile drawbacks of having fluids in your machine.

This is why I've been a Canon customer for as long as I can remember.

This is not an Epson problem, it's an ink printer problem. Many ink printers from various brands do this, though I have mostly seen it on HP.
Just go get some $5 aftermarket ink kits. Look for ones that use the same pigmentation type used by the manufacturer.

Only the truly shitty printers do this, and hopefully only when the black is empty first.

Will it accept urine? Try using urine.

printer watermarking uses yellow ink dot patterns, and we couldn't have you printing some dumb black-and-white dinosaur line-art without recording who you were, now could we?

>falling for the printer meme
Just print somewhere for a few cents when you get out your home. If you do this for your entire life I can assure you'll never spend near the same amount you would spend if you bought a printer+int. Printers are a scam.

I actually had to teach a class about printers and which are better worse. A single refill will last a laser printer 1000's of pages while a single cartridge refill will only last a few 100's.

Sure the laser refill ones are more expensive in general but because they end up lasting so much longer you are better of using them instead.

There is also some kind of hack which enables you to to replace the cartridge it's contents of laser printer.

Do not ever buy a fucking inktjet, you WILL shoot yourself in the foot longterm.

>Do not ever buy a fucking inktjet
Do not ever buy cheap inkjets.

My canon mx360 from 2012 somehow never had any problems that other inkjets always have. It's still fully functional and it prints in any given color without asking for a refill. It even tries when it's got no ink left at all, I buy cheap ass human ink from aliexpress, the cheapest I can find when I'm almost out and I refill myself. I don't even take the cartridges out of their slots anymore, just unplug and replug the printer after a refill. I do sometimes have issues with the cheap ink, but I just run some kitchen paper through the insides of the printer to absorb the ink and clean whatever else after which I drain and refill the cartridges with some of the better ink that I keep stored for these occasions. I recommend buying a canon mx360 if you can find one that isn't beat to death and printing happily ever after.

>inklet

In Canon land you just press and hold a button on the printer for 5 seconds and then it ignores the cartridge level warnings until you next change the cartridge.

I buy cheap refilled cartridges and then use cheap refilling kits until the print heads die then replace the cartridge.

If needs yellow to print the serial number on your sheets.

>he fell for the inkjet jew

then buy some new ink you cheap asshole

Based and redpilled

Inkjets do this shit to save the print heads from getting clogged.
They also ejaculate ink into a little reservoir every time you start them up.

>not buying a Chemiprint XR6800
>not printing using direct injection of pure periodic elements to make your colours
>being this fucking plebian
>shit i need to replace the polonium cartridge

Maybe stop printing out so many pictures of Asian girls, and you wouldn't run out of yellow ink.

Both of you

in the advanced options there should be an option for grayscale or black in only that will allow yo to print only using the black cartridge. as long as there is black ink, it will print

>There is also some kind of hack which enables you to to replace the cartridge it's contents of laser printer.
you're full of shit

The only legit answers here

Not on inkjets, at least not in detectable quantities. Whatever methods they use on inkjet printers if any are unknown.

Printers are the devices of Jew. You could bet money there's still like 1/3 of yellow ink left in the cartridge.

don't own printers they kill you in the long term
