Custom inks for better Neutrals when printing color images with these printers. Please read our compatibility info for each product to make sure you order the correct products.

According to color management expert Walker Blackwell, Piezography Selenium inks can be substituted into the EPSON color ink set in place of the EPSON blacks in order to improve the printing of neutrals in color images: 

"I would also note that for anyone using a RIP (say Colorburst) and not using Epson's default screening (Epson's default screening will add color ink overlay into the netrual to compensate for the brown/green K ink that Epson sells) you can buy 4 selenium inks from Jon Cone to replace your PK MK LK LLK. Then, when you build your custom CMYK profile, the setup will use more pure K ink when printing neutrals in color images. This cuts matamerism way down and generally gives you a superior profile for printing neutral images with small areas of full color (one of the hardest printing procedures, and something today's profilers still can't handle very well with mixed Ks like Epson). The 3800 (with it's 6 droplet sizes) are uniquelly up to this task. Also, this method will give you a more stable (neutral) starting point for building QuadtoneRIP profiles for your color inks. This really only works best with the newest head tech starting on the 3800/4880/7880/9880"
