Re: Black Color ?!!



WOW, get this !

As it turns out, my Black cartridge was out of ink, AND the
printer/system (BUT NOT ME) were somehow aware of this, and
compensating by using the YCM to simulate the Black.

Put a new Black in and all's well (love that rich Black tone! ...).

disappointed with the "Black" color really being a very Dark Gray and
finally turning a Dark Blue when my color cartridge ran out of Yellow,
telling me that it wasn't using the Black cartridge when appropriate;
eg - when printing black text from Word , or black graphics from
Visual Basic and other programs. I have tried every conceivable
"tweak" from within the printer properties as well as the printing
programs but NG. How can I get the printer to use the Black cartridge
when Real Black [RGB = (0, 0, 0)] is being called for?!
