Godfrey,
That information that the printer has an ink-changing cycle is
interesting.
But what is actually done during that cycle?
I assumed that having both blacks simultaneously spares you from any
ink waste, and what I am reading from your suggests (if I understood it
correctly), that could be a wrong assumption.
But I am still curious, - what do they actually do? Purge the nozzles from
one black and initialize them with the other one? That would mean
that despite having both black cartridges installed at the same time, they
are multiplexing the head nozzles.
But why? Why wouldn't they have separate sets of nozzles, just considering
each black as a separate color (like they do for Light Black and
Light-Light Black [LK and LLK])?

BTW: the P600 ink tanks are much larger than R2400 and R2880. They're up
in the 20-25 ml range. And the Photo Black and Matte Black inks are
installed simultaneously … the printer will even change ink mode
automatically based upon the paper you select, if you enable that option.
(I don't, because it means more possibilities of an ink change cycle which
takes time and costs ink.) I've found the P600's ink tanks and general
economy in printing reduce the per print cost quite significantly over the
R2400.
