There are printers that only have three colour cartridges - blue, red and yellow. With these printers, black printing is done by using all three colours - which seldom produces a really black ink. It is better to have a separate black cartridge for black printing, as it saves over-using the three colour cartridges. Colour cartridges are usually dearer than black cartridges. Also, avoid cartridges that combine the three colours in one fixed unit. For example, if the blue runs out, the whole cartridge will have to be replaced, even if there is red and yellow ink remaining. So always use three separate colour cartridges, that can be individually replaced, and one (usually larger) black cartridge.
