I have a canon mp530. I bought a package of 4 ink cartridges, black, yellow, magenta and cyan, but I forgot that there's a space for a second black ink cartridge. The printer needs 8bk and 5bk black ink. Why are there two black ink cartridges? More importantly, can I still get it to print without the second cartridge?

It will NOT work.
The 2nd black is "light black" ie grey to make better "lighter shades"
If a printer needs 5 carts, it will not work without all 5 in place

No, I don't think you can do that. Ink Cartridges are the soul of printer and one should take good care of it to fetch good results. To buy cheap and compatible Ink cartridges, visit http://www.ask4ink.com

Try to print a page and see if it prints.
