mx870 ink catridge usage?

the printer sucks up the black ink from the fat 220 cartridge, and leaves the slender 221 black ink cartridges alone.  thus, i have several 221 cartridges sitting here (from color packs) and must continue to purchase the 220s.  any insights?

220 is used for printing text documents. 221 inks are used for color photo printing. 

 

You can buy 220 without the 221.
