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.
