I have refilled my black ink, instead of swap for a new cartridge, and whenever I want to print a document where there is a grey area, it turns out to be some reddish color.

Some inkjet printers are setup to use all the color inks to create the color black, while others will properly use just the black ink to print in black or grey. In the printer properties try to turn off the color and use just the black ink. Sorry I can’t more specific but I do not know what make or model printer you are using.

Hey! While there may be many reasons as to why the printer is printing other colors instead of black, the most common cause of this error is that the cartridges have run out of the ink. Usually, the printers follow the CMYK process of color recognition. This means that the printer cartridges are split into four colors – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. You can guess which cartridge needs refilling by observing the output color. If you see the printer printing pink instead of black, the cyan cartridge needs refilling. This is similar for other colors as well. If your printer has an LCD screen, you can use this to check the ink levels. Once you find out which color cartridge needs refilling, refill the color and you will have successfully solved the printer color problems. For more information about problem go to printerflash.
