The original ink cartridge used a multi-color integrated design, that is, multiple colors were integrated into one ink cartridge. The biggest disadvantage of this ink cartridge is that it does not use ink efficiently. Because multiple colors exist in one ink cartridge, the ink cartridge must be scrapped as long as one color of ink is used up because of different color consumption, even if other colors in the ink cartridge are not used up.

Just because one color is used up, the entire ink cartridge needs to be scrapped, which not only brings more unnecessary investment to users, but also causes serious ink pollution. Because discarded ink cartridges often contain unused ink of other colors, and a drop of ink can pollute tens of cubic meters of water. In order to improve the utilization rate of the ink cartridge and reduce pollution as much as possible, the ink cartridge has gradually transited from the initial multi-color integration to a separate structure of black ink and color ink.

The reason for adopting this ink cartridge combination mode is that printing black and white documents requires a large amount of black ink, which leads to the rapid consumption of black ink. Once the black ink is used up, the entire ink cartridge will be scrapped. Therefore, it is inevitable to separate the black ink from the ink cartridge.

At this stage of the development of ink cartridges, it should be said that there has been a very positive development in terms of utilization rate and environmental protection. However, since color ink cartridges are still composed of multiple colors, the rapid consumption of one color will still lead to the scrapping of the overall color ink cartridges. Therefore, it seems to be an inevitable trend to further subdivide color ink cartridges into multiple single ink cartridges.

In fact, this conjecture was finally proved to be correct. This can be seen from the new products of the two inkjet printing giants, Epson and HP. Epson abandoned the matching mode of black and color ink cartridges used in the past in his new ME series products, and replaced it with the matching mode of multiple monochrome ink cartridges and ink cartridges for color ink cartridges. For example, the whole set of ink cartridges used by Epson ME200 is composed of four ink cartridges: T0761 (black)/T0762 (cyan)/T0763 (magenta)/T0764 (yellow).
