Switching Black Ink Types - Epson SureColor P800 Series Basics Manual

Switching Black Ink Types

Your printer comes with Matte Black and Photo Black ink cartridges. Although
both must be installed for the printer to work, the printer can use only one type of
black ink at a time. The printer will switch ink automatically, depending on the
type of media you load. This consumes a certain amount of ink, so you should
avoid switching ink more often than necessary.
Note:
You can disable automatic black ink switching by pressing the
System Administration > Printer Settings > BK Ink Auto Change > Off.
To conserve ink, you can select the type of ink that is available by default (see
page 42). First decide which type of media you usually print on. Then, if
necessary, switch to the type of ink that works with that media.
