Epson MicroPiezo TFP print head technology allows the printer to share the same
physical ink channel between both Matte and Photo Black inks
The correct black ink mode is automatically used depending upon the printer driver
or front control panel settings
The process of switching between black ink modes is automatic
To reduce user errors, the user must confirm the switch at the front control panel
This technology is similar to the auto-switching process of the Epson Stylus Pro 7900
and 9900 Series printers

Optimized Black Density
Two different black ink technologies can be used to optimize the black density for
virtually any media type
Photo Black ink can produce professional results on any media type, but is optimized
for traditional photographic papers
Matte Black ink can produce even better results on specific matte-type papers such as
Enhanced Matte, Hot Press and Cold Press Fine Art Paper, and many others

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when
printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge"
signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance.
All inks are used from both black and color printing.
