EPSON don't want to use the black ink on glossy photo paper

[floppyflop]

So it uses high amount of 3 colors (not a problem because it's an EcoTank ET-2650, let's say unlimited ink) but the resulting black is not black... it's a dark gray/blue.

How to say to the printer (or to the driver ?) to use real black ink on photo paper ?

Thank you in advance !

You can try this:
Open your 'Printing Preferences" and under Advanced Tab select Black/Grayscale
Use only Epson OEM ink

Successfully got it.
After having tried everything, I found the printer is working fine on "matte paper" and this setting is completly fine on glossy paper too. It's now using true black ink where there is black to print !

And the result (on the right) is lightyear better !

I still do not have this type of machine EcoTank ET-2650, but the features are great. I hope I can have this in the future. Thanks.
