I don't believe QTR or IJC can utilize both the matte and glossy (photo)
black inks at the same time.  I think the decision is made by firmware or
hardware that may still be out of reach.

"Media type" limitations of the newer UltraChrome printers is also a
problem.  The 4000 may actually sense the paper type.

I just put a PK chip on my 7600 MK cart so that I could have the full paper
type list available.  This has allowed me to raise the 7600 matte dmax up to
competitive levels.  EEM is now at 1.65.
