I use Matte papers and the Matte Black ink almost 100% of the time
(only time I switch to Photo Black is when I'm using Epson Exhibition
Fiber Paper, the only non-matte surface I like). All my printing is a
color-managed print workflow from Lightroom.
If I have Photo Black in the printer and am printing to matte papers,
I use the profiles with "-PK" extensions on the names for Epson
papers. Results aren't as good as using Matte Black ink but better
than if you didn't. For more expensive, third party papers, I use the
recommended profiles and inks.
I've not used the Harman papers or profiles as yet, have a sample pack
i need to try one of these days. But I would follow their
recommendations (at first anyway) and batch up enough printing to be
worth changing to the correct ink.

Hi All,
Is there any way to trick the profile for matte paper
to print with the standard black cartridge on Epson printer (R2880)?
(Yes, I realize that the color calibration might be less than optimum)
I've encountered the situation that I have the standard black
cartridge
installed in my R-2880, while I want to print on Harman Matt FB Mp
paper,
but I am reluctant to change the cartridge for just a few photos.
The printer driver doesn't let me to choose any matte paper under
"media" in the absence of the matte cartridge.
Godfrey:
I remember you saying that you were not changing your black
cartridge for
long time, and I remember that you were printing on matte paper.
Did you have the matte one installed or the standard one?
If it was the stanard one, - how did you print on matte paper using
paper profiles?
Thank you,
Igor
