Printing B&W on other materials

Printing B&W on other materials

2005-06-07 by jcap40

I am trying to use Epson Enhanced Matte on my 4800 to print B&W. The 
option for advanced B&W is grayed out and unavailable. Is this option 
only available to very specific papers? I have not read the manual yet 
but thought someone might have some info to help right now. Any help 
would be appreciated.

Make sure that you have Matte Black ink in there.  If you have
Photoblack ink installed, no matter what kind of paper you put,
Advanced BW will be greyed out.

Yes it is paper dependent.  You need to select Enhanced Matte Paper.

Are you sure about this?  Why wouldn't Advanced B&W  be available for 
printing on glossy papers using Photo Black ink?  I'd think that as long as the 
ink you have loaded matches the paper you're trying to print on, Advanced B&
W should be available.

Yes.  It simply seems to require a decent paper - it is not available for
plain paper for example.
