Depending on which version of the Stylus Pro 10600 you have, the ink cartridge starter kit included with your printer contains one of three possible kinds of ink:
•EPSON Photographic Dye™ ink
•EPSON Archival™ ink
•EPSON UltraChrome™ ink
Note
If you have an Ultra- Chrome printer, you can switch between the Photo Black and Matte Black cartridges, but you have to follow a special procedure. See page
Once you install your first ink cartridges, the printer is programmed to work with that kind of ink for the lifetime of the unit; you cannot switch it to use a different kind of ink.
If you have an EPSON Stylus Pro 10600 that uses UltraChrome ink, two black ink cartridges are included in the starter kit: Photo Black and Matte Black. (An empty ink draining cartridge is also included; be sure to save it, as you’ll need it if you want to switch black ink types at a later time.) When you first install the cartridges, select the black ink type that’s best suited to your printing needs:
