For the same reason it will not use black ink only when photo printing 
even if the color content to be printed is only black.

That was Volkan's opinion. IIRC, he had used a photo media selection so 
go figure. The only way I know to get a high resolution black printout 
from an Epson inkjet using only black ink is to choose "black ink only" 
and transparency media or put blank ink in all cartridges. I'm all ears 
for other suggestions.
