This is crucial because you can only make this decision once, and you won&#8217;t be able to change it without purchasing a new printer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll make this decision based on the type of printer you purchased and the ink that comes with it. The black ink will be either a matte or gloss finish, so choose accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure you are selecting the correct ink cartridges, take note of the unique identifying features on them. Each cartridge will be labeled with a product number and a color designation (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importantly, the finish type \u2014 matte or gloss \u2014 should also be clearly labeled on the cartridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure this finish type matches with your initial selection on the printer setup.
