black ink versus all others

black ink versus all others

2003-05-08 by a.lemus

just wanted to know what the difference in "photo lite black and photo
matte black ink". also can you change inks when doing different papers
in the middle of the ink cartridge? I just started printing on the 2200
and want to print my B/W photo's for my up coming show. Can anyone suggest what are the best papers and inks for b/w printing. 
                                                                                thanx Alex

Alex,

Matte black should be use in place of photo black when
printing on enhanced matte paper or watercolor paper.
Photo black on other surfaces such as glossy and semi
glossy. With the 2200 I like enhanced matte, but it is
a matter of personal choice. You need to try the
different surfaces and decide which suits your work
best.

Regards,
Nick
