Epson Stylus C84 - I would like to print black with the colour cartridges
I have the above mentioned printer. I virtually never use the colour
cartridges as such, but would like to put them to some good use, that is, making them mix their colours so as to be almost black (or grey). I remember this was doable with some old HP printers: The results were not perfect, but suited my needs. I have been unable to configure my printer in that manner. Does anybody have a clue how I could accomplish it? Many thanks Michael |

Epson Stylus C84 - I would like to print black with the colourcartridges
I assume you wish to print text. The problem is that Epson printers,
even when set to full color mode, will use black ink if the text color is indeed black CMYK (0, 0, 0, 255). The only way you can probably use the color inks up is to change the text color somewhat, to perhaps a somewhat lighter black, or a slightly tinted color. You will need to have the driver set up for full color rather than black only. I do not know quite how "off-black" the color will need to be before the driver goes from black to a combination of colored inks. Art wrote: I have the above mentioned printer.
