Changing the Black Ink Cartridge
You can change the black ink from Photo Black to Matte Black or vice-versa.
You will need to use the Black Ink Conversion Kit (included with your

The printer includes a Photo Black cartridge. If you prefer to use Matte
Black, the Matte Black cartridge can be purchased separately. See page 106.
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 (260), Premium
Semi-gloss Photo Paper (250), Premium Semimatte Photo Paper (260), 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 several minutes to
switch and consumes some ink, you shouldn’t switch cartridges more often
than necessary.
Caution:
Do not remove

not turn off the printer,
open the top cover,
remove the rear cover,
move the paper lever to
the released position,

maintenance tank, or
unplug the power cord.
Note:
If an electrical
power failure occurs
during this operation, turn
the printer on again. You
can continue your
procedure at the
