When black ink is running low and there is enough color ink remaining, you can use a mixture of color inks to create black. You can continue printing while preparing a replacement black ink supply unit.
This feature is only available when you select the following settings in the printer driver.
Paper Type: plain papers
Quality: Standard
EPSON Status Monitor 3: Enabled
If EPSON Status Monitor 3 is disabled, access the printer driver, click Extended Settings on the Maintenance tab, and then select Enable EPSON Status Monitor 3.
Composite black looks slightly different from pure black. In addition, the print speed is reduced.
To maintain the quality of the print head, black ink is also consumed.
