If you use a printer where the three colour cartridges are used to produce black, then the colour cartridges would be used up very quickly. If the three colours are in a fixed unit, then if one colour runs out, the whole cartridge would need to be replaced, even if there were still plenty of colour in the other cartridges. Therefore, it is cheaper to use three individual colour cartridges, that can be replaced separately as each colour is used up, and a separate black cartridge. Black cartridges tend to be larger and cheaper than colour cartridges.
