Brother printer/ink problem?

I have a Brother MFC 4 in 1 printer. Any time a color ink runs out, it will not even let me print in black and white. Is there any way around this. I just need to print b%26amp;w, but it wont let me b/c the yellow is out.Brother printer/ink problem?
Nope.





Nothing you can do, the colour cartridges are needed to keep a consistent prime on the print head. This means that there is always a small amount of ink present in the print head of the cartridge. This is because the printer uses Ink sublimation in other worlds a lot of head to print. The residual ink left in the print head acts as a coolant. Without that ink even for black only printing you will warp and completely destroy the print head.





With many brother models as well a small amount of color ink is also used to darken and sharpen the black. so to answer your question, in order to print, you need to replace that yellow.Brother printer/ink problem?
well it depend on the mixture type of the printer, why not always allow the ink to remain a little , then you can be printing your blacks, also your printing can be sellect and choose black print, else the printer might be sensing other colour in the document send to be print
There may not be a way around this. Some printers do this because they have built-in printheads and will not allow printing once the cartridges are dry.





The reason is because if you fire the printheads while they are dry, the printheads will burn (kinda like boiling a kettle dry). And you will use some colors even though you print just B%26amp;W because the printhead needs to service itself by printing some ink.





The easiest way to work around it is to buy a new yellow cartridge and just continue printing B%26amp;W. The servicing should not take up too much ink and you will be able to go on printing for quite some time as long as you have black ink.
