Hello,

I don't understand why my Epson 635 printer uses only the PBK cartridge and not the BK? I'm even more disappointed because the number of copies is higher with the BK cartridge.
Can anyone please help me?

    Can you specify how you start your printing? From a direct photocopy from the machine? From a PC print?
    With what tool? Have you checked the "quality" settings for the print? Indeed, if the quality is high or set to "photo" ... it will use the PBK.

      First of all, I cannot print if all the cartridges are not in place.
      I go through PC printing and indeed it's a good idea, I will check the quality settings to see if the quality is high. Since I'm not very skilled with computers, it's going to take me a little while to check. Thank you very much for taking the time to inform me. Have a good evening.

        If the quality settings are correct, you can also check the paper settings. Sometimes printers get a bit overzealous and declare the paper as "good" for photo printing and automatically use the PBK, I've had that happen with Epson ones too...

        Hello, thank you very much, it was indeed a problem coming from the printer. It got a bit overzealous after a reboot and changed the paper quality. Thanks again for all the good advice.

        No worries. ;-))

        Glad to hear the issue is resolved! I'll mark it as such, then.
