More info: Epson uses some kind of resin coating on the Durabrite
color inks. But not on the black. Since the resin coating is there
just so Durabrite pigmented ink will work on glossy paper, if you
specify Glossy paper it will not use any black ink at all, instead
mixing colors to get black. But if you use settings such as Matte or
plain paper, it will use all four colors.
