Natalie Lamb and the broken printer

I purchased printer ink a few weeks ago but it hadn't been delivered yet. I had some documents to print to post some parcels but it just wasn't working. Here's a really quick post on how to print when you have this problem, when your printer has ran out of black ink but colour ink is still working.


1. Convert the PDF to an image format, for example by using the website:
https://pdf2jpg.net/convert.php#.XsPp-2hKjIU.


2. Colorise the image so that all black ink is changed to blue. I personally have used this website: 
https://manytools.org/image/colorize-filter/. I select the "Screen" option. 


That's all it should take. Your printer should now be able to print the document.
