As it releases its ultra-fine four-picoliter droplets, the color richly saturates the paper without any bleed-through, making it supremely legible, no matter how complex your spread sheets or reports. This quick-drying ink is resistant to water, fading, or smudges, and is acid free for long-lasting, vivid tones. Each individual cartridge supplies approximately 440 pages, based on 5% coverage.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reason For Matte Black, January 28, 2003

By	Paul Guba (Highlands, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

Due to the way inks are made Epson has found it necessary to micro-encapsulate the Photo Black ink. The reason for doing this was to allow the inks to better adhere to the glossy and semi-gloss. These same inks however will powder and rub of on other papers most notably the art type and matte. So Epson wisely created two black inks. How black these inks appear has nothing to do with which one is chosen. I measured a L value of 13.82 with my Photospectrometer not as dark as some other ink sets but still very good
