This innovative solution optimizes the Black ink density for various media types, dramatically improving the final print quality. The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth® Fine Art, using the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase black optical density for even better print quality.
