Digital BW, The Print

I went to a photo equipment shop in the weekend, the salesman there 
told me that the Epson 2200 will use both "black" and "light black" 
ink to print when the "Black Only" opiton is selected. I don't quite 
believe that. Does anyone here has any idea if that salesman is 
correct?

He's wrong. If the printer really used both inks you would get a very
warm print, bordering on brown. You also would see much less dots.

Everything I've ever read indicates he's wrong -- "black ink only" 
mode does not use the "light black" ink -- only the black (matte or 
photo).

Jim,
I've done quite a few (matte) black-only prints with my 2200 over the last couple of weeks.
The level of 'remaining ink' (as shown by the Epson 'Status Monitor') has gone down only 
for the "black" cartridge.

If you look at the print head pattern the black ink is black and the 
grey ink is that warm light brown, so I assumed that my black only 
prints from the 2200 use both blacks, otherwise they wouldn't have that 
very warm tone.... plus the fact that it's denser to my eyes than black 
only from any other printer I have, doesn't that indicate more than one 
ink being used? The dots are far less visible than BOPrinting from my 
2000P.

He's wrong.   Why are you listening to salesmen, anyway, Jim?  
Didn't your parents warn you not to talk to those people?   Frankly, 
they give me the creeps.
