Lower priced Inkjets usually comes out with the grouped color cartridge. But the best is to look for a printer with a separate cartridge for each color, that way you only replace the color that runs out, without the worry of wasting the ink. Inkjets with separate ink cartridges uses a considerably lesser amount of ink to create the print than which employs grouped cartridges. Some Inkjet models employ a large ink tank, which allows you to use ink more efficiently. A number of Inkjet printers offer interchangeable black inks, which allows you to choose between the printers standard Photo Black cartridge and an optional Matte Black cartridge.

When you come close to a decision, as to which inkjet printer to buy, you should also look into how much it will cost to replace its ink cartridge. The price you pay for ink will vary on the printer you use, but it can cost you from $20 to $45 or more for replacement color- ink cartridges, and $12 to $34 for a separate black cartridge. With a few printers, the ink tanks hold both the ink and the print nozzles, which is more costly to replace than just the ink.

The most basic printers use three subtractive color inks (CMY) but high-end printers use five or even seven inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, a light cyan and a light magenta and two kinds of black, (a photo black for graphics and a pigment-based black mostly for text) to achieve more accurate photo printing. You may pay more for a six or seven color inkjet printer but you will gain in color reduction, especially in highlights and tonal gradations.

(CMYK) K stands for the black printing ink to avoid confusion with B for blue.

Color inkjet printers use these inks to place tiny dots, one on the other, creating the desired color.       When two of these dots are overprinted, they appear as red, green, or blue. When all three are surprinted, they form for example black. These different colors combined together can create photofinisher-quality colorful images. Older printers have created pictures one dot in a one-inch segment but newer models places more dots per inch, resulting in sharper, crisper images. The length of time the ink cartridge lasts will vary on the quality of the toner it contains and the number of prints you will create. The cheaper a cartridge is, the less ink it usually holds.

Ink cartridges of Photo inkjet Printers.

While standard inkjets usually employ three fundamental color inks (CMY), high-end inkjet photo printers use six or even eight inks. Some brand name inkjets like Cannon, use four separate color cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) while other brands such as Epson, work with six separate cartridges for each ink colors: the four basics plus light cyan and light magenta, resulting in more professional-looking output. The best-case scenario is to buy a printer with a separate cartridge for each color; in this case you only need to replace the color that depleted, without wasting ink.

Due to the smaller size of portable printer cartridges, they will need to be replaced more frequently, which might drive up the overall cost.
