O.K. - fine - that's a great step ahead to get away with these strange spikes, the RPM option is history, you won't find that option anymore in newer drivers - like in the L805 photo printer.
You may contact farbenwerk, if they would ship to your country, or you may find a local dealer with similar special black inks.
That's pretty easy - the Epson 4 color printers - specifically those entry level workforce models like my old WF-2010W - use a black pigment ink tuned for matte papers - for a crisp and contrasty print on normal paper. This ink is not used to print black when you select glossy/photo papers , the driver mixes black from the CMY inks. This creates a weaker black level since you have the CMY inks with a lighter luminance mixed in. But if you would fill your black ink in all CMY ink channels you get what you want - printing black via the combined CMY ink channels.
Thanks for the reply. This is great news, never knew such printers works in this manner. Learning something new every day.
