Epson SC P600 ink Swap

[Dave Canon]

Swapping between Photo Black and Matte Black wastes a lot of ink. I once heard a tip that suggested that you force the printer to use Photo Black all the time including Matte paper but cannot remember how to implement this. It is set so it asked me if I want to proceed with an ink change but the only options are proceed with the change or cancel printing. Does anyone know how to force the printer to continue with the photo black?

Other than telling the printer you are printing on glossy paper, I've never heard of a way to force the printer to use the wrong ink.

None too sure but suggest if you head over to Keith Coopers youTube or indeed his main website you might be able to find and/or ask his advice as appropriate?

Thanks for comments so far. Maybe it was to lie about the paper used. For a colour print as I did today, I was forced to use the Matte ink but, had I made it use the Photo Black, I doubt that the print would look much different as it was a creative colour print with very little real dark areas so there would have been little full black used. I will also look through Northlight images some time as Keith Cooper knows his stuff.
