tbwhite2040 :

Hello, My name is XXX XXX I will assist you in finding an answer to your question.

tbwhite2040 :

You need to replace the color ink tank with the same type of ink tank or it could damage the printer. Only use recommended products for your printer.

Customer :

How can I avoid this unnecessary expense? Iris

tbwhite2040 :

There is no way to avoid it because they are making the printers to not print unless all cartridges are installed as well as the ink tanks. Using the wrong catridges and ink tanks could damage your printer
