I always print in black and white.
Since I print patterns, it’s usually best to do them in color because of the multiple size changes. These days, they’re all in color. The older patterns often aren’t, but they also often have wide colored borders on the page that shows a description, and if I printed them in black, I would go through a lot more than I have done.
Until I can get the print heads cleaned, I’ll have to continue to print using just black.
