2200 Photo Black or Matte Black

2200 Photo Black or Matte Black

2005-04-24 by michaelrosensf

I'm about to buy a 2200 and try QTR, initially with the Epson UCs.

I read that the machine comes with a Photo Black cartridge. I'll be printing on EEM and HPR 
- matte papers. SHould I be using Photo Black or Matte Black?

Michael,

You definitely want to use the matte black cartridge on all matte and 
fine art papers (the only exception being semi-matte papers, which look 
and act more like satin or luster papers).  The photo black will look a 
bit weak on matte papers.  It's been awhile since I bought mine, but I 
thought it came with both cartridges.  

It's a really nice printer and is very well supported and very 
flexible.  Enjoy it.

Lou
