Canon pixma ip4300 black ink refill. BK and PB

Hi

sure you can, both use same ink.

the magenta print head must be blocked. have it checked canon pixma ink

try to remove the cord that connects your printer to your live outlet and reinsert it back then. then power on your printer back.

You can set your printing preference to print in grayscale black ink only.

No!

The large cartridge is used for text only printing.
The smaller black cartridge is used for black in images such as pictures.

You have a "C (cyan) M (magenta) Y (yellow) and B (black) color system. This actually saves the color inks for you. If the Black was not there, you would need to make a composite black from the color inks.

Don

call ok canon 800 number..their better than India CAll centres.

have u refilled the toner. just try it. otherwise it might have blocked somewherelse. try

The printer does recognize 2 different catridges. My understanding is that the smaller is specific to photos,
but the larger is used for everyday text and pages.
I would get the cartridge and then wait to see if the printer
won't print photos when small cardtridge is out. If it does
print, pictures may not be good enough for you.

some printers are not compatible with refilled ink. The best thing to do is buy original cartridge

The number 5 is a Pigment text black while the number 8 is a dye photo black. The text black is for black text mainly and the photo black is for use when printing photos. Since the text black is always running out it means you are printing a lot of documents in plain paper mode.

I recommend using QUALITY refill ink like Hobbicolors which is sold on eBay and will save you a bundle of money. The MP830 is a 5 ink printer so you need the 5 ink kit like the IP4300.
