Ink usage

[oldbenz1]

My printer is an HP 5610 All-in-one. Almost all of my printing is black text- only rarely do I print color. Nevertheless, I seem to be using tink from the tri-color cartridge must faster than the black. How can this be? Needless to say, there's a big difference between the cost of the color cartridge and black.

I had a similar thing with a PSC 2110 I used to have. I found selecting grayscale printing in printer properties except when I had to do color cut way back on color ink useage.
