Maintaining Your Printer 43
Switching Black Ink Types
Your printer comes with Matte Black and Photo Black ink cartridges. Although
both must be installed for the printer to work, the printer can use only one type of
ink at a time. The printer will switch ink automatically, depending on the type of
media you load. This consumes a certain amount of ink, so you should avoid
switching ink more often than necessary.
To conserve ink, you can select the type of ink that is available by default (see
page 44). First decide which type of media you usually print on. Then, if
necessary, switch to the type of ink that works with that media.
