Best Answer

Each color cartridge has 3 small tanks of different colored ink. If the cartridge is the same size as the black cartridge, each color tank is 1/3 the size of the tank in the black cartridge. If you do not NEED a color copy, when you print, select properties, and check "print in greyscale" or "Black and white". You will get a black and white copy and save your color ink.
