If you own anEpson 4800,7800or9800, printing usingUltrachrome K3inks, and may have already heard aboutImageprint's Phatte Blackink system, reviewed here first in November, 2005. In combination with theImageprint RIP 6.1and a specially rechippedEpson Matte Blackcartridge it allows these printers to print to both matte and glossy papers without the need to swap cartridges, and without suffering the hassle and the cost of wasted ink and time involved each time paper types are changed.

When the Phatte Black system was first introduced in November '05, it did not support the use of custom profiles; onlyColorBytes' own supplied DK profiles. But, given that this is one of the largest profile libraries in existence, and that all of these profiles are free for the downloading for anyone that usesImagePrint, some might wonder at the need for custom profiles.
