Hello Paul,

This is totally new to me and I'd like to find out more about HP-PK BO printing on an Epson 1400.

- Is HP-PK meant for printing on glossy paper only or can it be used with matte paper?

- How does it compare to MIS Photo Black or should it be compared to MIS Ebony ? What about the tone of the ink?

- Is HP-PK available only in cartridges? If so, it would mean that it has to be transferred somehow to an Epson 1400 cart?

Unless things have changed, BO printing with the Epson 1400 calls for QTR. Would you be using a PK or MK profile or a profile of your own?

Thanks in advance,
André
