A:AnswerYou have to look for the "photo quality" black ink. It is very annoying that the symbols are not shown on the packaging. I found the correct ink when I asked about it at Best Buy.

A:AnswerSorry, this ink is for HP printers only, not Epson. But good luck with finding an answer from Epson customer service. They should be able to help you with your Epson printer.
A:AnswerIt sounds like you may have had the printer turned off for awhile, and the pigment black dried up. In future, please keep you inkjet printer on at all times and print at least once a month to keep the ink flowing.
A:AnswerIf that is the correct cartridge for that printer and the XL just stands for how many pages you can run with it. Which an XL cartridge normally you can get 500 pages.
A:AnswerI would say "yes".. Use photo ink -- you'll get better quality photos -- always use the same brand ink and paper with the same brand all in one or your results will be a little off in color and the way the ink sits on the paper.
A:AnswerThe HP 564 series ink cartridges include the HP 564 Black Ink Cartridge (CB316WN) and the HP 564 Photo Black Ink Cartridge (CB317WN). The photo black ink cartridge is slimmer and is not used by some printer models that use the HP 564 series ink cartridges. I apologize for any confusion.
