Standard UC inkset is installed. I have photo black installed and no matte cartridge.

I did one 13x19 on Galleria Silk gold with a semigloss curve. I was holding off on the Ultrasmooth until I get a matte cart black in the printer.

I have some small sheets of Photo Rag, for grins I did a print with both tyhe Epson gimp driver and with QTR. QTR sure improved the black over the standard driver, but not as good as the little HP does which have a magnificent black.

It did surprisingly better than I expected, Max black was pretty good.

Only with a scanner.
