Installing the Ink Cartridges
Depending on which version of the Stylus Pro 10600 you have, the ink
cartridge starter kit included with your printer contains one of three possible
kinds of ink:
•
EPSON Photographic Dye
™
ink
•
EPSON Archival
™
ink
•
EPSON UltraChrome
™
ink
Once you install your first ink cartridges, the printer is programmed to work
with that kind of ink for the lifetime of the unit; you cannot switch it to use
a different kind of ink.
If you have an EPSON Stylus Pro 10600 that uses UltraChrome ink, two
black ink cartridges are included in the starter kit: Photo Black and Matte
Black. (An empty ink draining cartridge is also included; be sure to save it, as
you’ll need it if you want to switch black ink types at a later time.) When
you first install the cartridges, select the black ink type that’s best suited to
your printing needs:
Black ink types for UltraChrome printer
Black ink type Image and paper type
Photo Black For printing photographic images on all media types.
Optimized for traditional photographic and ink jet-coated
papers, such as EPSON Premium Luster Photo Paper,
Photo Semigloss Paper, and Premium Semimatte Photo
Paper.
Matte Black Optimized for printing photographic images on matte or
plain papers, such as EPSON Enhanced Matte Paper,
Smooth and Textured Fine Art Paper, and Somerset
Velvet for EPSON, when the highest level of
photographic quality is desired.
Note
If you have an Ultra-
Chrome printer, you can
switch between the Photo
Black and Matte Black
cartridges, but you have to
follow a special procedure.
