How to print in black and white from your iPhone
Printing in black and white saves color ink and is crisper for text. You can set it in the print options, or convert the document to grayscale first.
Print in black and white
- Open your document in Printer App and choose your printer.
- Turn on the black-and-white (grayscale) option if the printer offers it.
- For a document that must print without any color, convert it to grayscale before printing.
- Tap Print.
FAQ
- Why is my printer using color ink for a black document?
- Some printers mix inks for black unless you choose grayscale or black-only. Select the black-and-white option, or set the printer to use only the black cartridge in its settings.
