to).

To avoid interruption, observe the following conditions: Do not turn
off the printer, open the top cover, remove the rear cover, move
the paper lever to the released position, remove the ink cartridges,

The Photo Black cartridge is ideal for printing photographic
images on all media types. It is optimized for traditional
photographic and ink jet-coated papers, such as Epson
Premium Luster Photo Paper, Photo Semigloss Paper,
Premium Semimatte Photo Paper, etc.
The Matte Black cartridge is optimized for printing
photographic images on matte or plain papers, such as Epson
Enhanced Matte Paper and Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper.
Generally, you should switch black ink cartridges only if you
plan to run a large number of print jobs in the new mode.
Since it takes about several minutes to switch and consumes
some ink, you shouldn't switch cartridges more often than
necessary.
