The only explanation I can think off is that the black is not 
having enough dye colorant. Not enough ink squirted seems 
strange. The printers have 5 droplet sizes, the smallest 1.5 
picoliter ? so you may expect that the largest is large 
enough. I think you should discuss this with Epson if it is 
happening on all Claria models, the last we expected is that a 
new dye ink doesn't deliver Dmax on matte papers.
