Does my product automatically switch between the Matte Black and the Photo Black ink cartridge when I change the media selection in the driver to a matte or photo ink media type?
-
Yes, the printer will automatically switch to the correct black ink.
You can also switch the black ink type manually. See below.
Note: Because this process consumes some ink, you should avoid switching black ink more often than necessary and select a default black ink type for the type of media you print on most often. You can disable automatic black ink switching by pressing the setup button and selecting System Administration > Printer Settings > BK Ink Auto Change > Off.
