Don't forget that the printer goes through a headclean cycle at start up, 
sometimes when powering off the printer and at set times during printing. 
You cannot alter that procedure. This will cause your ink cartridge to empty 
even with no colour printing. However, as each cartridge has the printhead 
on it, you can leave an empty one in the machine. The printer should 
continue to work normally, setting it to grey scale is a useful suggestion 
many printers use blue ink with the black to produce a true deep black.
