Printing Black
Photo Black (P) / Matte Black (M) / Light Gray (lg): This setting indicates
which inks are used when printing black:
• All black inks (All)
• P and lg only (P lg)
Ink Limit
Indicates the total amount of ink the paper can absorb to maximize gamut without
causing image-quality problems. This setting is expressed in pico-liters (or nano-
grams) per 1/600th x 1/600th inch paper area (divide by 4 for 1/1200th by 1/
1200th inch area). In general we can say that the higher the ink limit, the higher
the gamut.
