which ink is likely to run out first?
I've got a fairly new Canon MP600 for which I will eventually have to buy
ink. Office Depot sent me a coupon that might be useful ($10 off $25 or more on ink) but I have to project which ink tanks are going to need replacement first. My guess is large black...followed by which colors? Nothing is running low enough yet to judge. Brendan

I didn't check to see what ink set the Canon MP600 uses, but the ink use
depends upon your use. If you will be printing a lot of text, then black is likely to be used up first. However, if you will be printing images, depending on the ink set, the typical use is as such: In six color printers, the light (photo) magenta and light (photo) cyan will be first, followed by yellow, magenta and cyan. If it is a 4 color model, then yellow, magenta, and then cyan. The cyan and magenta usually run out about the same time, and it depends upon your use. If it has two black, pigment and photo black, the pigment black gets used for text, the other black for photo or color work. It usually lasts the longest. Art Brendan R.

You didn't mention which printer you are using. That would help in
determine what's what. Some printers have one slot for black for which you can either use a larger of smaller black cartridge, and both might be the identical type of ink. Some printers use all pigment inks both black and color, some use all dye, and no pigment inks. Does your printer use 5 cartridges all installed at once?

OK, now that I know the printer model I can comment further.
Your printer has 5 cartridges. The large black one is for text and is used exclusively for that purpose. That is a pigment ink The other four cartridges are all dye ink and used for images. They are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and the smaller of the two Black (dye or photo type). The reason for this is that pigment ink provides a sharper and denser black with plain paper, and may even dry faster. It also is quite fade resistant, and often is waterproof once dry. However, this ink doesn't integrate well with the color dye inks. It sits on the surface of the paper, while dye inks penetrate the paper more. Since the characteristics differ between dye inks and a pigment ink, and particularly black inks which have a lot of pigment in them, they don't merge well and would look odd in an image. Therefore, for anything involving colored inks, your printer will use the dye black ink in that application, but continue to use the pigment black ink in text only applications. The nature of the head and dot size is often also different between dye ink and pigment inks. Art Mary wrote: "Arthur Entlich" wrote in message news:k3jri.17750$rX4.198@pd7urf2no...
