Matching Black Ink to Paper Type

In order to generate the best output on a wide variety of paper types, your printer can use either the Matte Black (T059820) or Photo Black (T059120) ink cartridge. Only one can be installed in the printer at any time, but you can swap these cartridges depending on your paper type. Both are included with your printer.

Use the Matte Black ink cartridge for professional results with the following paper types:

Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper

Enhanced Matte Paper

Matte Paper - Heavyweight

Velvet Fine Art Paper

Watercolor Paper - Radiant White

UltraSmooth Fine Art Paper

Double-Sided Matte Paper

Tip: Although these media types are available when the Photo Black cartridge is installed, printing onto Matte type media with Photo Black will not yield professional or optimal results. The ability to print on matte media with Photo Black is for convenience only.

Use the Photo Black cartridge for professional results with the following paper types:

Premium Glossy Photo Paper

Premium Luster Photo Paper

Premium Semigloss Photo Paper

Proofing Paper Semimatte

PremierArt Water Resistant Canvas

You cannot select these paper types when the Matte Black cartridge is installed.
