I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if my printer isn't doing it's job correctly, but I'm trying to print digital elements that are black and they always turn out like a dark gray. I've tried changing paper type (premium matte to ultra premium matte) on the printer side and on the computer side I chose all different settings with the same result.
Do any of you have any tips to print blacks as true black instead of gray? Forgot to mention the paper I'm using - it's Hammermill 80lb premium color copy digital cover. I do have Epson presentation matte paper but I try not to use it too much because it's pricey.
UPDATE: Using the Epson Presentation Matte paper worked much better. I also found out there's a right and a wrong side to that paper too, so make sure you're printing on the correct side. It's hard as heck to tell though.
