Monochrome printing refers to printing with only one color, typically black. This is in contrast to grayscale printing, which uses varying shades of gray to create images. Monochrome printers use only black ink or toner, while grayscale printers mix black and color ink or toner to produce different shades of gray. A monochrome printer is also known as a black-and-white printer.
One notable difference between monochrome and grayscale printing is that a color printer can print in both monochrome and grayscale, but a monochrome printer can only print in black and white. Monochrome printing is often used for printing text documents, as it is more cost-effective than using color ink or toner. However, monochrome printers are less versatile than color printers, as they cannot print in more than one color.
