Hi, I am currently evaluating Qimage with an Epson P800 and am using a roll of plain paper for the occasion.
I was surprised to see that Qimage absolutely wants to print with matte ink, MK.
I thought plain paper required PK, but the printer manual says either one.
But anyway I would like to avoid an unnecessary bleed and I don't see how to force Qimage to choose a black ink type.

I tried with Epson Print Layout and it prints without problem with the active ink on the printer which is PK.

Is there a way to select the ink in Qimage

Thank you.

That is not Qimage doing that. It is your driver and paper selection.
I turned off the Qimage AI and the driver will select MATTE black when you select Plain Bright paper. See attached setting from your driver.
When  the driver sets the  ink to Photo Black, the paper selection changes in your driver to UNLISTED 348. Thenit works with Photo Black ink.
