Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you use the cartridge ink or 
the CFS ink? MIS has one web page saying the cartridge black ink is 
universal black, but another web page saying it's black for matte 
only. Obviously if you order CFS ink, there are clear labels to tell 
you if the black is PK (Photo Black), or MK (Universal Black) or K 
(Matte Eboni Black). 

Don't know if they send me the wrong fill of the black in the 
cartridge.

results on "glossy" with thier "PK" type black, but you would lose 
lots of D-Max on your Matte finished papers..The same issues exist 
with Epson's own "Ultrachrome", but they don't even offer 
a "universal" black.....I guess you can't have your "K"ake and eat it 
too!!
