The chip determines whether it's matte or photo black. If you have an old matte black cart you can exchange chips and you'll be good to go, provided you have a chip resetter. If you are using auto reset chips then you'll have to get the correct one from MIS. I'm sure they have matte black chips also in case you don't have any laying around.
