Re: Eboni 6 on K3 Printer: LK and LLK

2013-06-15 by kenleegallery

The Epson 3880 gives us both Photo Black (PK) and Matte Black (MK).

I have left the PK cartridge empty, and put the Eboni 6 K ink in the MK cartridge. Please let me know if I am overlooking something. 

Thanks.

By the way I ordered the refillable cartridges from inkjetcarts.com and everything works nicely, their support has been superb.
