The printer driver may decide to use a mix of color and black ink for
the edges. That is how it gets improved grey tones. But if you let it
run out of color (as the post I was replying to) then you may end up
with funky trace edges.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from putting the same black
ink in all cartridges. You can even feed it from the same bottle if
you are putting a CIS on it.
