Switching Black Ink Mode
You can switch the black ink from Photo Black to Matte Black or vice-versa
by pressing the button on the control panel.
•The Photo Black cartridge is ideal for printing photographic images on
all media types. It is optimized for traditional photographic and ink
jet-coated papers, such as Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster,
Premium Photo Paper Semi-gloss, Proofing Paper Commercial, and so
on.
•The Matte Black cartridge is optimized for printing photographic
images on matte or fine art papers, such as Epson Ultra Premium
Presentation Paper Matte and Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper. This
cartridge significantly increases black optical density.
Generally, you should switch black ink cartridges only if you plan to run a
large number of print jobs in the new mode.
•Switching from Photo Black to Matte Black takes 2 minutes and
consumes approximately 1.2 ml of ink.
•Switching from Matte Black to Photo Black takes 3 minutes and
consumes approximately 3.4 ml of ink.
