Why do reusable cartridges come in four colours?

• Technology has advanced to a point where
  computers and printers have become a necessity
  for daily living. Gone are the days when
  everything from utility bills to letters from
  loved ones were sent via post.
• Now everything is done online and if you need any
  documents, you need to print them yourself.
  Inkjet printers are designed to use four-colour
  process printing, otherwise known as CMYK C for
  Cyan, M for Magenta, Y for Yellow and K for
  Black. The ink used is oil-based and once an
  image is sent through the PC to the printer, it
  is printed via special rollers, which basically
  copy and paste the image onto the paper by using
  water and a manipulation of all four colours.
  Most printers are designed to only take four
  cartridges.

Branded, generic and reusable cartridges

• Price is always a factor when deciding on which
  ink cartridge to buy. Ideally, buying branded
  cartridges is the best option to ensure quality
  printing results and also for the longevity of
  your printer. However, branded cartridges can be
  expensive, and in the current economic climate of
  constant price hikes, we are forced to cut down
  on our more luxurious expenses.
• Its worth bearing in mind that price doesnt
  always reflect quality and that there are
  reputable companies who will supply you with
  a generic ink cartridge that is compatible with
  your printer. You can also choose to refill your
  used cartridges for a fraction of the price and
  still get quality printouts from your machine,
  but is best to get this done by a company that
  has the right equipment to do the job right and
  with a quality reusable cartridge.

Individual Colour Cartridges vs Tricolour
Cartridges

• When buying a printer you need to make sure
  youre getting one that will suit your needs
  exactly. Printers and ink can be expensive so
  its important to ensure that you wont be
  wasting any money on your printing
  costs.Printers come with two different type of
  colour ink cartridges tricolour cartidges or
  single colour cartridges. Both types of
  cartridges have their own advantages, however if
  used for the wrong application they can become
  expensive and ineffective.

The Difference Between Individual and Tricolour
Cartridges

• Tricolour cartridges have three colours of ink
  inside them cyan (blue), magenta (pink), and
  yellow. When something is printed these colours
  will be mixed together to make up the colours of
  the image.Individual colour cartridges work in
  the same way, however instead of the three ink
  colours being stored in one cartridge, they are
  stored in three different ones.
• The first and most obvious difference between
  these two types of cartridges is the size.
  Tricolour cartridges tend to be smaller than
  individual colour ones. This also means that
  printers that use tricolour cartridges are
  generally more compact than printers that use
  individual cartridges.

Comparison

• Individual colour cartridges can have the
  advantage of being more cost effective in certain
  applications. For example, if you are going to be
  printing the same image often a company logo,
  for example that is mostly made up of the
  colour blue, the cyan cartridge will run out far
  quicker than the other two. Once it has run out,
  it can be replaced while the other two colours
  stay in the machine. If you had been using a
  tricolour cartridge for this type of printing it
  would have resulted in a waste of money. Though
  the blue is finished there may have still been a
  large amount of the magenta and yellow which
  would go to waste when the cartridge was thrown
  away.Individual colour cartridges will also be
  of more use to those who require more precision
  with their colour prints photographers and
  designers.

• On the other hand, tricolour cartridges are
  better for office usage. In this environment the
  majority of printing done will be pages of text
  with perhaps a few images or graphs in between.
  Use of colour ink will be far lower for general
  office use and will also be less predictable.
  Because colour will be more unpredictable it
  could be more effective to use a tricolour
  cartridge.
• Both types of cartridges have different uses for
  different environments. Its important to know
  exactly what type of printing you are going to be
  doing before buying a printer and being locked
  into a certain type of cartridge.
