I've got a Canon Pixma IP1900 printer with an empty colour cartridge.
In this printer the black cartridge has a pigment ink whereas the colour cartridge has dye ink.
Does anyone know if filling the colour cartridges with the black pigment ink will damage the print heads. I don't know if the colour (dye) print heads are different to the black (pigment) print head.
The reason for this is I seem to be hearing that pigment inks have much better UV blocking characteristics, and they are also more opaque than black dye prints.
