Printer shuts down for one empty color?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

FAQ:
Is there a color printer that won't stop printing when one of the colors goes empty of toner or ink?

Answer:

• From HP, "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-AiO will continue to print black even if one of the colored cartridge is empty." 
• From Canon, "Canon offers a huge benefit over our competitors with Pure Black technology. What this feature does is when printing the color black (text for example) on any of our color models the printer is not using any of the colors in the print.  Therefore, allowing the printer to print black even if the colors are low/empty.  This feature is found in our laser and inkjet models."

• Canon color printers.

3 Times to Save on Printing Costs

Everyone loves to get the best bang for their buck, but have you ever thought about ways to get a longer life out of your printer cartridges?

On any given day, you have three opportunities to save money on your printing costs: When you create a document; when you print a document; and during routine maintenance of your printer.

Try these simple tips to milk your cartridges for all they’re worth.

When Creating a Document

• Use smaller font sizes and you’ll use less ink. For most fonts, an 11-point or 12-point font is sufficient for regular, daily purposes.
• Don’t over-use the “bold” function or choose “thick” fonts. Century Gothic, Times Roman and Calibri are good examples.
• Read, re-read and read again before printing. Proofing on your screen saves hard copy errors.
• Go the route of digital photos and consider not printing at all! Sometimes a digital file is sufficient, or even preferable, to a hard copy.
• There is special software available for purchase (such as ecofont) that purports to save up to 50% in printing costs.

When Printing

• Catch errors in advance by viewing printer output before you print. Choose “print preview” and take the extra few minutes to re-read your document before committing it to paper.
• Consider printing in “draft” or “grayscale” modes for routine, everyday documents.
• Duplex or combine multiple pages into one page (saves on paper).
• Print only what you need. Free services like PrintWhatYouLike help to get rid of unnecessary and costly clutter when printing web pages.

During Routine Maintenance

• If you get a low-toner message or start to see streaks on your printouts, there is likely still toner left in the cartridge. Simply remove it from the printer and gently rock it from side to side several times (do not shake!). You will likely be able to eke out a few more pages before having to change your cartridge.
• Beware the dreaded clogged nozzles! Before assuming your printer has stopped because of a bad or empty cartridge, run a nozzle check or remove the cartridge(s) from the printer, gently wipe it with a damp cloth, then reinstall and re-try.

By implementing even just a couple of these tips, you are sure to see some cost savings in your printing bill over the long-term.

HP affected by toner shortage

Hewlett-Packard warns distributors:

When parts of Japan were devastated by a earthquake a month ago, there seemed little doubt that the printer and supplies industry would be seriously impacted and there would be shortages of some key products. Now, according to an April 12 article, it seems that the industry’s top vendor, HP, which is dependent on Canon for production of laser printers and MFPs and toner cartridges, has sent a letter to various partners indicating that it is concerned about the future availability of certain toner cartridges and LaserJet devices. According to the CRN story, HP has warned its partners that in response to potential shortages it is restricting distribution of some toner cartridges.

HP has been experiencing shortages of the HP CE285A (or 85A) toner cartridge for months now, and just before the earthquake struck, it was said that another SKU, the CE278A (or 78A), was in short supply.

Canon had problems in ramping up production to meet demand for certain HP toner SKUs before the disaster in Japan, and now the firm faces an even bigger challenge. Some of its manufacturing facilities have been offline for weeks, and transportation systems and other key infrastructure in Japan have been disrupted. Although more manufacturing facilities in Japan are coming back online, all it takes is a disruption somewhere in the supply chain, a shortage of a crucial component in a toner cartridge or laser printer, to impact Canon’s ability to manufacture finished SKUs. HP is expecting to see some shortages and is taking the necessary steps to limit their impact by rationing distribution of some toner cartridges.
