Is it more cost-effective to print gray or black lettering on an inkjet printer?

Question by darshakay: Is it more cost-effective to print gray or black lettering on an inkjet printer?
My first instinct is that gray would be cheaper, because it would be less ink used than full black. However, I know that some copy machines use COLORED ink to print gray tones (which obviously costs more than black ink)…….

I am not 100% sure, but think that your second guess is the right one. Because when I was out of colour ink, and had filled only the black, my HP inkjet wasn`t printing the gray properly… The letters were ok, but the rest, some tabels etc were not. And when I had the colour one filled, than it started to prind properly.
I think that you should try to print a page of text in gray, but take out the colour cartridge, and see how the gray tone comes out. If it is fine, than I think that you can save some ink. But I think that it won`t save much.
Hope I helped a little.
