Title: B&W canvas printing
Post by: moonbeam1116 on March 03, 2021, 11:59:15 am

I have a epson scp800 I'm trying to print on matte canvas using the Advanced B&W mode. Whenever I try the mode gets greyed out.

My gut feeling is that Advanced B&W Mode doesn't support Matt Black ink and you'll need to make sure that Photo Black ink is selected, even though this is matt canvas.

Nope, ABW works on many matte papers, with MK ink. Just not all matte papers / canvasses.

If your driver has it try 'Exhibition Canvas Natural Matte' as the media choice.
On my P9000 I have this as an option, and ABW is available when it is selected. Maybe the P800 is the same
