There is no seting to disable this.</P> Thu, 07 Sep 2017 17:44:43 GMT jrhoffman75 2017-09-07T17:44:43Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Printing-TRUE-Greyscale-grayscale-on-my-IP8700/m-p/218918#M6467 <P>Hi&nbsp;</P><P>I have a Pixma IP8700 and I use it to print photos. I am working with some old black &amp; white photos at the moment and would like to force the printer to printer using only the Black (BK) &amp; Grey(GY) (dye) inks so I can see what a print looks like without the cyan, yellow &amp; magenta dots all over it.</P><P>How can I do this? I am using both Windows 10 &amp; OS X Yosemite...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>PS I can see online how to force the printer to use the black pigment ink only (by setting the paper to plain), but this is not what I want as printing with the pigment only (PGBK) is very coarse.</P> Thu, 07 Sep 2017 15:37:46 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Printing-TRUE-Greyscale-grayscale-on-my-IP8700/m-p/218918#M6467 theWoosh 2017-09-07T15:37:46Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Printing-TRUE-Greyscale-grayscale-on-my-IP8700/m-p/218927#M6468 <P>Monochrome printing (not black only) uses color inks along with black and grey.
